Bruce Cockburn
World of Wonders (Live)
[Verse 1]
Stand on a bridge before the cavern of night
Darkness alive with possibilities
Nose to this wind full of twinkling lights
Trying to catch the scent of what's coming to be

[Chorus]
In this world of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a saxophone slides through changes
Like a wet pipe dripping down my neck
Gives me a chill—sounds like danger
But can't stop moving till I cross this sector

[Chorus]
Of this world of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
At this world of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
In this world of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
World of wonders
