Overland, West Of Suez Lyrics

Overland
The desert sands are born
A not too brief exchange
The details somehow got relayed
Neither of us were born to believe this
But you made the first move to escape
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e69947-maximo_park~overland_west_of_suez_lyrics.html ]
Closer than me to the equator
I looked you up on that ?
Not as close as we once were, oh no.

Undeterred
A man of words was born
Your vocation came
You found your target at a cave
Take me to where bodies glide
Crystal underneath the waves

Closer than me to the equator
I looked you up on that
Not as close as we once were, no.
Not as close as we once weren no

I thought I saw your older sister
I was gonna ask after you
West of Suez, East of Britain
I was gonna ask after you
Cause she looked so much like you
I meant to ask after you.
