Bruce Cockburn
Strange Waters
[Verse 1]
I've seen a high cairn kissed by holy wind
Seen a mirror pool cut by golden fins
Seen alleys where they hide the truth of cities
The mad whose blessing you must accept without pity

[Verse 2]
I've stood in airports guarded glass and chrome
Walked rifled roads and landmined loam
Seen a forest in flames right down to the road
Burned in love till I've seen my heart explode

[Chorus]
Ooh, you've been leading me
Beside strange waters

[Verse 3]
Across the concrete fields of man
Sun ray like a camera pans
Some will run and some will stand
Everything is bullshit but the open hand

[Chorus]
Ooh, you've been leading me
Beside strange waters
Streams of beautiful
Lights in the night
But where is my pastureland
In these dark valleys?
If I loose my grip
Will I take flight?
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Ooh, you've been leading me
Beside strange waters
Streams of beautiful
Lights in the night
But where is my pastureland
In these dark valleys?
If I loose my grip
Will I take flight?
