So that's how You found me
Rain falling around me
sitting under an awning
flapping in a winter nights sky
drinking coffee, wondering why

Traffic hissing by
Staring down a road with
glowing lights pointing at me
telling me which way to go
with a long way to go
You're looking down on a girl
knowing she'd very much like to go home
I was homesick and living the devils lie

You invited me and led me away
Found myself
Surruonded by a language
so pure and sublime
I could only say hello and thank you very much
but you spoke so I could understand
You drew a treasure map on my hand
the map lead to an island
in a sea of heaven bought dreams
You had just enough desire to keep me satisfied

So that's how you found me
looking down a road with a long way to go
lovely girls hovering above me with
long slender necks and delicate skulls
they had enough sweetness to keep me satisfied
I was no picnic
no I was no prize, but
You didn't leave me out in the cold
You didn't leave me out there to die
cause your map lead me to this island
in a sea of heaven bought dreams
You're desire to keep me has left me satisfied
