  A5
I walked across a continent
where children did not bat an eye
     D5
when made to watch their mothers die
                                      A5
they left the bodies by the sides of roads
where only willows cried
yes even my own eyes were dry
      G5              Bb5
when somehow there I lost my bride
                                        A5
the ring slipped free and fell beneath the earth

   D5
so like Orpheus I bowed and went far underneath the firmaments
   A5
my harp strings broke

my voice was spent

I kissed my lady's hand and sent
  G5
my two weeks notice with my rent
   Bb5
and she grew cold and softly said
A5                           D5
I am not your lover I'm the map you use to find her
     A5
I am not your lover
           D5      A5      D5
I'm just a map you use to find her

  D5
I step outside my room once more
and see what I have seen before
    A5
another ship washed to my shore
a figure walking towards my door
    G5
her face is tired her dress is torn
   Bb5                             A5
I look into her eyes and feel her thirst

              D5
she says I've come across these waters
high pressed on by such auspicious signs
     A5
I've watched the stars and read the tides
the winds have brought me to your side
  G5
I come to you
I am your bride
    Bb5
and I grew cold as I replied
     A5
that I am not your lover,
        D5
I'm the map you used to find him
  A5
I am not your lover
           D5      A5      D5
I'm just a map you use to find him.
