Bruce Cockburn - The Embers of Eden lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - The Embers of Eden lyrics]
You knelt on the carpet, crimson and stained
Light trickled over your black
Dress like rain and your lips were hot
And my shocked heart screamed
And I can't scrape my eyes free of this dream
We each occupied the same space time
Matter, antimatter, tangled like vines
And the awful tolling
And the cold rain outside
And I cannot scrape this dream off my eyes
And the embers of Eden burn
You can even see it from space
And the great and winding wall between us
Seems to copy the lines of your face
And the embers of Eden burn
You can even see it from space
And the great and winding wall between us
Seems to copy the lines of your face
Light trickled over your black
Dress like rain and your lips were hot
And my shocked heart screamed
And I can't scrape my eyes free of this dream
We each occupied the same space time
Matter, antimatter, tangled like vines
And the awful tolling
And the cold rain outside
And I cannot scrape this dream off my eyes
And the embers of Eden burn
You can even see it from space
And the great and winding wall between us
Seems to copy the lines of your face
And the embers of Eden burn
You can even see it from space
And the great and winding wall between us
Seems to copy the lines of your face
