Bruce Cockburn - Forty Years in the Wilderness lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - Forty Years in the Wilderness lyrics]
Forty years in the wilderness getting
To know the beasts
Projected and reflected on the
Greatest and the least
Forty years of days and
Nights angels hovering near
Kept me moving forward though the
Way was far from clear and they said
Forty years in the wilderness
Dancing with the flies
Dazzled by the visions rolling
Out before my eyes
Angel made graffiti, demons in disguise
You could trade away your birthright
For another day's supplies or you could
Take up your load run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone comes undone
Take up your load run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone comes undone
Rising with the height of land
Falling with the crowd
Spirit's in the scouring wind called
My name out loud
Said you could go to heaven
You could go to hell
You could hang out in between in
The place you know so well or you could
Take up your load run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone
Take up your load run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone comes undone
To know the beasts
Projected and reflected on the
Greatest and the least
Forty years of days and
Nights angels hovering near
Kept me moving forward though the
Way was far from clear and they said
Forty years in the wilderness
Dancing with the flies
Dazzled by the visions rolling
Out before my eyes
Angel made graffiti, demons in disguise
You could trade away your birthright
For another day's supplies or you could
Take up your load run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone comes undone
Take up your load run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone comes undone
Rising with the height of land
Falling with the crowd
Spirit's in the scouring wind called
My name out loud
Said you could go to heaven
You could go to hell
You could hang out in between in
The place you know so well or you could
Take up your load run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone
Take up your load run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone comes undone
