Bruce Cockburn - My Beat lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - My Beat lyrics]
Past the derelict mattress
And the overgrown pavement over the tracks
And through the hole in the fence
Past graffiti-bright buildings
And the junkyard alarm bell
And the screaming police cars
And it's all present tense
It's my beat in my new town
It's my beat in my new town
Past the drunk woman reeling
With her bag of provisions
Down through the tunnel
With the stink-fuming bus
On to the bike path
Where it's something like freedom
And the wind in my earring whispers
Trust what you must
It's my beat in my new town
It's my beat in my new town
Ancient and always the wheel's ever whirling
Today I'm riding tomorrow I walk
Step through forever into this very moment
The heart is pumping and the heart rocks
It's my beat (It's my beat) in my new town
It's my beat (It's my beat) in my new town
It's my beat (It's my beat) in my new town
It's my beat (It's my beat) in my new town
And the overgrown pavement over the tracks
And through the hole in the fence
Past graffiti-bright buildings
And the junkyard alarm bell
And the screaming police cars
And it's all present tense
It's my beat in my new town
It's my beat in my new town
Past the drunk woman reeling
With her bag of provisions
Down through the tunnel
With the stink-fuming bus
On to the bike path
Where it's something like freedom
And the wind in my earring whispers
Trust what you must
It's my beat in my new town
It's my beat in my new town
Ancient and always the wheel's ever whirling
Today I'm riding tomorrow I walk
Step through forever into this very moment
The heart is pumping and the heart rocks
It's my beat (It's my beat) in my new town
It's my beat (It's my beat) in my new town
It's my beat (It's my beat) in my new town
It's my beat (It's my beat) in my new town
