I sent away for a treasure map
It came one day, it was bubble wrapped
I stepped outside in the morning air
The trees were ripe and you were there
You're not here
I fell asleep under Manhattan stars
When I awoke I was in your arms
Always in your arms
I sent away for a diamond ring
It came one day, but it was too late
She slipped away
