Bruce Cockburn - Man of a Thousand Faces lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - Man of a Thousand Faces lyrics]
I'm looking to be by a window
That looks out on the sea anybody here know
Where such a place is?
Surf of golden sunlight breaking over me
Man of a thousand faces
In the garden paths take form
But the hailstorm guards it's own
Things forbidden, things unknown
You must travel on alone
In memoriam friends come round
But the hard ground holds it's own
Time for pulling, time to ride
It's my turn but where's the guide?
On the jetty shadows lie
And the gulls cry once or twice
Swelling thunder, truth is hid
Behind the glass eye of the idol
Anybody here know where such a place is?
You know, these city towers
Jewels on the serpent's crown
Twist the space between them
Till every eye is blinded
Lord will you trade your sunlit ocean
With it's writhing filigree
For any one of my thousand faces?
That looks out on the sea anybody here know
Where such a place is?
Surf of golden sunlight breaking over me
Man of a thousand faces
In the garden paths take form
But the hailstorm guards it's own
Things forbidden, things unknown
You must travel on alone
In memoriam friends come round
But the hard ground holds it's own
Time for pulling, time to ride
It's my turn but where's the guide?
On the jetty shadows lie
And the gulls cry once or twice
Swelling thunder, truth is hid
Behind the glass eye of the idol
Anybody here know where such a place is?
You know, these city towers
Jewels on the serpent's crown
Twist the space between them
Till every eye is blinded
Lord will you trade your sunlit ocean
With it's writhing filigree
For any one of my thousand faces?
