Bruce Cockburn - In the Falling Dark lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - In the Falling Dark lyrics]
And the lights lie tumbled out like gems
The moon is nothing but a toothless grin
Floating out on the evening wind
The smell of sweat and lube
Oil pervades the night
And the rush of life in flight
At the speed of light
A million footsteps whispering
A guitar sounds some voices sing
Smoke on the breeze eyes that sting
And far in the east a
Yellow cloud bank climbs
Stretching away to be part of tomorrow's time
Earthbound while everything expands
So many grains of sand
Slipping from hand to hand
Catching the light and falling into dark
The world fades out like an overheard remark
In the falling dark
Light pours from a million radiant lives
Off of kids and dogs and
The hard-shelled husbands and wives
All of that glory shining around and
We're all caught taking a dive
And all the beasts of the hills
Around shout "Such a waste!
Don't you know that from the
First to the last
We're all one in the gift of grace!"
The moon is nothing but a toothless grin
Floating out on the evening wind
The smell of sweat and lube
Oil pervades the night
And the rush of life in flight
At the speed of light
A million footsteps whispering
A guitar sounds some voices sing
Smoke on the breeze eyes that sting
And far in the east a
Yellow cloud bank climbs
Stretching away to be part of tomorrow's time
Earthbound while everything expands
So many grains of sand
Slipping from hand to hand
Catching the light and falling into dark
The world fades out like an overheard remark
In the falling dark
Light pours from a million radiant lives
Off of kids and dogs and
The hard-shelled husbands and wives
All of that glory shining around and
We're all caught taking a dive
And all the beasts of the hills
Around shout "Such a waste!
Don't you know that from the
First to the last
We're all one in the gift of grace!"
