Bruce Cockburn - Don't Feel Your Touch lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - Don't Feel Your Touch lyrics]
In front of a newborn moon
Pushing up it's glistening dome
I kiss these departing companions take
The next step alone
I just said goodnight to the closest
Thing I have to home
Oh and the night grows sharp and hollow
As a junkie's craving vein
And I don't feel your touch, again
To be held in the heart of a
Friend is to be a king
But the magic of a lover's touch
Is what makes my spirit sing
When you're caught up in this longing
All the beauties of the earth
Don't mean a thing
Oh and the night grows clear and empty
As a lake of acid rain
And I don't feel your touch, again
The last light of day crept away
Like a drunkard after gin
A hint of chanted prayer now whispers
From the fresh night wind
To this shattered heart and soul held
Together by habit and skin
And to this half-gnawed bone of apprehension
Buried in my brain
As I don't feel your touch, again
As I don't feel your touch, again
Pushing up it's glistening dome
I kiss these departing companions take
The next step alone
I just said goodnight to the closest
Thing I have to home
Oh and the night grows sharp and hollow
As a junkie's craving vein
And I don't feel your touch, again
To be held in the heart of a
Friend is to be a king
But the magic of a lover's touch
Is what makes my spirit sing
When you're caught up in this longing
All the beauties of the earth
Don't mean a thing
Oh and the night grows clear and empty
As a lake of acid rain
And I don't feel your touch, again
The last light of day crept away
Like a drunkard after gin
A hint of chanted prayer now whispers
From the fresh night wind
To this shattered heart and soul held
Together by habit and skin
And to this half-gnawed bone of apprehension
Buried in my brain
As I don't feel your touch, again
As I don't feel your touch, again
