Silver Map of You

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold stone beneath my feet
Where the earth and heavens meet
Frost on the parapet wall
Watching the shadows fall
Brass turns beneath my hand
Scanning the silent land
Silk charts and ink so deep
While the whole kingdom's asleep
[Chorus]
I see your name in the light
Burning so steady and bright
A crown for the child I knew
This is the silver map of you
High in the velvet blue
Guiding the spirit through
I found a place where you stay
A million miles away
[Verse]
Remember the hill by the stream
Sharing a waking dream
Crickets sang low in the grass
Watching the seasons pass
You pointed at tails of white
Meteors piercing the night
You said if you ever should go
You’d find a way to let me know
[Chorus]
I see your name in the light
Burning so steady and bright
A crown for the child I knew
This is the silver map of you
High in the velvet blue
Guiding the spirit through
I found a place where you stay
A million miles away
[Bridge]
The lens brings you closer to me
Beyond what the others can see
No distance can tear us apart
You’re etched in the sky and my heart
The strings of the universe play
Turning the night into day
[Chorus]
I see your name in the light
Burning so steady and bright
A crown for the child I knew
This is the silver map of you
High in the velvet blue
Guiding the spirit through
I found a place where you stay
A million miles away
[Outro]
