[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]

I found a map to buried treasure

I found it deep within your smile

I think that now that I have found it

I will study it

I wear your allegiance like a cloak of trust

Wrapped around the heart of me

And no conditions were discussed

When we joined forces helplessly

Falling inward we were linked by chain

Across the length of rolling sea

Welded by laughter and sealed in pain

Floating love has rescued me

It's trust that holds it anchored

It's the trust takes years to build

Without it there is nothing

Just emptiness unfulfilled

Brick by brick you know we built it up

Built a house to hold a dream

A shape that's rising from the rubble

Where the shaking death had been

I found a map to buried treasure

I found it deep within your smile

I think that now that I have found it

I will study it for a while

No sticks and stones can hurt us

Nor the liars or the thieves

We'll use the stones to ring our garden

And the sticks to gather up the leaves

Brick by brick you know we built it up

Built a house to hold a dream

A shape that's rising from the rubble

Where the shaking death had been

I found a map to buried treasure

I found it deep within your smile

I think that now that I have found it

I will study it

[Instrumental (Piano)]

I found a map to buried treasure

I found it deep within your smile

I think that now that I have found it

I will study it a while

I found a map to buried treasure Aaah ...

I found it deep within your smile Aaah ...

I think that now that I have found it Aaah ...

I will study it ... for a while

Mmm, mmm, mmm ...

[Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitars and Piano)]
