The Maker (early bass & lyrics) Songtext
von Daniel Lanois

Black, and cold like the night
I′ve stand with my arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I′m a stranger
In the eyes of the maker

For the fog in my eyes
I could not feel
For the fear in my life
From across the great divide
In the distance i saw a light
Walking to me with the maker


My body is bent and broken
By long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of abraham
And turn my head away
In the hands of the maker

Have you seen the homeless daughters
With broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
There over east of eden
Burning in the eyes of the maker
Burning in the eyes of the maker
Burning in the eyes of the maker
Burning in the eyes of the maker

Oh river rise from your sleep...
