Diane Hine - Edelweiss Finds L. In the Amazon lyrics

HE SAYS: I'll show you the earthworks; can*ls, roads, mounds. A decomposed city; no gold paradise, yet nature can't rub it's imprints from the ground. Welcome to my El Dorado Edelweiss. Look how this ditch curves - I traced it a mile. A moat maybe? - site of a stockade wall? I admit I lured you here with barefaced guile but can you see why this place holds me in thrall? So, was it the appeal for help which drew you or a bad poem with obvious flaws? No matter, because what else can we conclude but that love sent the bottle to your shore? We walk side by side and your hand warmly ties with mine, so why do you still avoid my eyes? SHE SAYS: Taking into account ocean currents and 1900 global population, the chance of mine and the bottle's convergence were maybe better than one in a billion. Tall odds granted, but not beyond reason and you Lucretius, know I know you know that. I was drawn by neither appeal nor poem. You wrote on a whim and I came for a chat. But your eyes can find a city consumed by forest and they find too much in me. I thought maybe with age I'd become immune.... Talk to me about archaeology. They're like fish hooks, your eyes. They can't be prised without pain. That's why I avoid your eyes.
