The Innocence Mission - You Draw the Streets of Rome lyrics

I am listening to you and my eyes are closed Though I know the map you draw in blue chalk includes us With the scarves blowing out and the cardigans wrapped 'round Looking down beautiful views from the rooftops a long way And you draw the streets of Rome They are the branches on a tree We walk them one by one And we will glide down the stairs like air, like water I'll be braver than I am here I am listening to you and my eyes are closed Though I know the buildings and the sparkle of fountains And the names of the streets are the ones you keep a song for Along they string along like lights on the roadway And you draw the streets of Rome They are the branches on a tree We walk them one by one In a twilight of music I believe If we ask we will receive And we will glide down the stairs like air, like water I'll be braver than I am here
