Emmylou Harris - The Maker Lyrics
(daniel lanois)Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the nightI stand with arms wide openIve run a twisted lineIm a stranger in the eyes of the makerI could not see for the fog in my eyesI could not feel for the fear in my lifeFrom across the great divide, in the distance I saw a lightOf jean baptistes hes walking to me with the makerMy body my body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleepI cant work the fields of abraham and turn my head awayIm not a stranger in the hands of the makerBrother john, have you seen the homeless daughtersStanding there with broken wingsI have seen the flaming swordsThere over east of edenBurning in the eyes of the makerBurning in the eyes of the makerBurning in the eyes of the makerOh, river rise from your sleepOh, river rise from your sleepOh, river rise from your sleep
