Darien Gap

歌詞

I was a waiter in North Baltimore Down by the tracks and the video store where you worked Three times a day you'd come in for a drink I'd bring you a coffee, you'd pay with a wink and a smile One day I saw you and pulled up a stool I said, "Kathy, I've known you since first grade in school on the bus" You always had talked about seeing the world I never imagined you'd still be the girl down the street I asked, "why are you still here?", you just looked confused You told me you can't get from here to Peru in a car, In Panama you'll hit the Darién Gap There's suddenly nothing but white on the map and you're done... You are done You are done You're done We are one but not quite connected We are one but light years apart We are one but not quite connected We are one oh oh Now it's been so long since I wandered away But I still think about what you told me that day in the bar I wonder if you're still marooned with a globe Waiting for someone to pave you a road to your dreams
