Bruce Cockburn

Incandescent Blue
I sneaked across the border It was threatening rain So I could stand in this tunnel waiting for the roaring train And watch those black kids working out Kung Fu moves If you don't want to be the horses' footprints, you've got to be the hooves Hear that lonesome violin play See the notes float up into the overcast And change to white birds as they sail on through And soar away free into incandescent blue People getting ready behind all these rectangles of light "Put on your grin mask, babe You know we're stepping out tonight" You hear that sound like hammers, only small? It's what people's heads say when they beat them against the wall Concrete vortex sucks down the wind It's howling like a blinded violin Oh, tongues of fire, come down and kiss my brow If I ever needed you, well, I need you now From Letras Mania
