i got my mind...

on eternity

some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

and i'm wondering where the lions are

i'm wondering where the lions are.....

Wondering Where the Lions Are

Bruce Cockburn

Wondering Where the Lions Are 

Sun's up, uuh huh, looks okay

the world survives into another day

and i'm thinking about eternity

some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

I had another dream about lions at the door

they weren't half as frightening as they were before

but i'm thinking about eternity

some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

Walls windows trees, waves coming through

you be in me and i'll be in you

together in eternity

some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

Up among the firs where it smells so sweet

or down in the valley where the river used to be

i got my mind on eternity

some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

and i'm wondering where the lions are

i'm wondering where the lions are

Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake,

thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take,

pointing a finger at eternity

i'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy

Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun,

polished as precise like the brain behind the gun

(should be!) they got me thinking about eternity

some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

and i'm wondering where the lions are

i'm wondering where the lions are

Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay

One of these days we're going to sail away,

going to sail into eternity

some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

and i'm wondering where the lions are

i'm wondering where the lions are

 Wondering Where the Lions Are

...One day you're waiting...

for the sky to fall

The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all........

Lovers In A Dangerous Time

Bruce Cockburn

Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by

You never get to stop and open your eyes

One day you're waiting for the sky to fall

The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all

When you're lovers in a dangerous time

Lovers in a dangerous time

These fragile bodies of touch and taste

This vibrant skin, this hair like lace

Spirits open to the thrust of grace

Never a breath you can afford to waste

When you're lovers in a dangerous time

Lovers in a dangerous time

When you're lovers in a dangerous time

Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime

But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight

Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

When you're lovers in a dangerous time

Lovers in a dangerous time

And we're lovers in a dangerous time

Lovers in a dangerous time
