Cockburn, Bruce - Strange Waters Lyrics
I've seen a high cairn kissed by holy wind
Seen a mirror pool cut by golden fins
Seen alleys where they hide the truth of cities
The mad whose blessing you must accept without pity
Walked rifled roads and landmined loam
Seen a forest in flames right down to the road
Burned in love till I've seen my heart explode
You've been leading me
Beside strange waters
Across the concrete fields of man
Sun ray like a camera pans
Some will run and some will stand
You've been leading me
Beside strange waters
Streams of beautiful lights in the night
But where is my pastureland in these dark valleys?
If I lose my grip, will I take flight?
You've been leading me
Beside strange waters
Streams of beautiful lights in the night
But where is my pastureland in these dark valleys?
If I lose my grip, will I take flight?

Cockburn, Bruce Strange Waters Comments
A holy tune for out temorous times. You've been leading us besides strange waters. Strange and beautiful. But where are our green pastures in these dark valleys?
BC is a damn good electric guitarist. It is too bad he pretty much put it away after this album. Don't get me wrong he is unmatched with the acoustic...I just miss the electric.
My favourite song. This will knock you off your feet. Cockburn is a poet. I was fortunate to see him do it live last year. He's amazing.
*sobbing😢 dark valleys
Lord!,you have been leading me beside strange waters!
#Flight.....
I've seen a high cairn kissed by holy wind
Seen a mirror pool cut by golden fins
Seen alleys where they hide the truth of cities
The mad whose blessing you must accept without pity
I've stood in airports guarded glass and chrome
Walked rifled roads and landmined loam
Seen a forest in flames right down to the road
Burned in love till I've seen my heart explode
You've been leading me
Beside strange waters
Across the concrete fields of man
Sun ray like a camera pans
Some will run and some will stand
Everything is bullshit but the open hand
You've been leading me
Beside strange waters
Streams of beautiful lights in the night
But where is my pastureland in these dark valleys?
If I loose my grip, will I take flight?
You've been leading me
Beside strange waters
Streams of beautiful lights in the night
But where is my pastureland in these dark valleys?
If I loose my grip, will I take flight?
I am glad to know this.
Listen to the version of this song by the "Dogs of '84" (wherever you may get it).
One of his best, and he's written some utter classics.
33 LP0 pour vous servir.
Great upload: the HD makes it sound like home. One of my favorite songs by him.
Fantastic, heartfelt tune by Bruce!
