The Innocence Mission You Draw the Streets of Rome song 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 rapped 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
