Bruce Cockburn - Lily of the Midnight Sky lyrics

[Bruce Cockburn - Lily of the Midnight Sky lyrics]

Over the slow slide of continents
Over the salt pans pipelines
Masts and pavilions
Shimmering crescent moon recedes
Into working dawn
Lone crow against pallid sky
Single plume of white smoke
On yellow speckled plain
Yellowing leaves sparkle in cold breeze
Wave patterns among wave patterns
Particles disperse and rejoin
Dissolve and reform like the lining of a womb
Still the cold of your absence blows from
The silent TV, the parking lot
The balcony with clothes waving goodbye
Hello

In the rising day you keep fading away
Don't I know that you're always around
I can reach you if I try
Lily of the midnight sky


Lily of the midnight sky

Solders of sunrise shooting into
A forest of flowers slow motion
Petals float into air pink crimson white
Grow wings flutter into mountainous distance
Flutter like a stadium full
Of applauding hands
I raise a fist to the marauding
Sun that has hidden you away
I'm the rag in a bottle of gasoline
Longing to ignite ich will alles
All of you shining on the
Panther skin of night
Mirrored in a black lake in a night
That glistens like blood on gold

Nobody else could be you
If only I could see you
I should be able to touch you somehow
I can reach you if I try
Lily of the midnight sky
While you look from on high
Spare a smile as I
Put on my dog mask and howl for you
I can reach you if I try
Lily of the midnight sky
Mmm, Lily of the midnight sky
Mmm, Lily of the midnight sky
Mmm, Lily of the midnight sky
Mmm, Lily of the midnight sky
