about

This song was triggered by a phone conversation with a friend that went on just a little too long about a troubled relationship that I really had nothing to do with, but it created a chain of thoughts that led to a song I'm happy I have.

lyrics

Geography Of The Soul


You say I’ve got a fine place

Somewhere to lay my head at night

and try to hide my face

I say I don’t have nowhere to go

and you just don’t know

the geography of the soul




You say you can’t find your way

through the valley of your fear

You’ll find a map to read one day

when the night turns black as coal

and you’re lost in the forest of

the geography of the soul




Trapped inside of four walls

Inside this box I dream of you

All my love and ache falls
I choke and watch my words roll

down the mountain and through 

the geography of the soul



We tried to swim the ocean

tried to tame the sea

We tried to scale the mountainside 

tried to climb the peak
We tried to survive the desert night

tried to take the heat




It seems like we’ve lost our way

he road has changed you know

This is a foreign land now

Hazards of time take their toll

I can’t recall when we both knew

the geography of the soul
