World Of Wonders

Bruce Cockburn

Stand on a bridge before the cavern of night 
darkness alive with possibility 
nose to this wind full of twinkling lights 
trying to catch the scent of what's coming to be (in this...) 

World of wonders... 

Somewhere a saxophone slides through changes 
like a wet pipe dripping down my neck 
gives me a chill -- sounds like danger 
but I can't stop moving till I cross this sector (of this...) 

World of wonders... 

There's a rainbow shining in a bead of spittle 
falling diamonds in rattling rain 
light flexed on moving muscle 
I stand here dazzled with my heart in flames (at this...) 

World of wonders... 

Moment of peace like brief arctic bloom 
red/gold ripple of the sun going down 
line of black hills makes my bed 
sky full of love pulled over my head 

World of wonders...
