(Daniel Lanois)
|
Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night
|
I stand with arms wide open
|
I've run a twisted line
|
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
|
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
|
I could not feel for the fear in my life
|
|
From across the great divide, In the distance I saw a light
|
Of Jean Baptiste's he's walking to me with the Maker
|
My body my body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleep
|
I can't work the fields of Abraham and turn my head away
|
I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker
|
|
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
|
Standing there with broken wings
|
I have seen the flaming swords
|
There over east of eden
|
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
|
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
|
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
|
|
Oh, river rise from your sleep
|
Oh, river rise from your sleep
|
Oh, river rise from your sleep
|
