Daniel Lanois - The Maker Lyrics

Oh, Oh Deep water
 Black, and cold like the night
 I stand with arms wide open
 I've run a twisted mile
 I'm a stranger
 in the eyes of the maker

 I could not see
 for 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
 Jean baptiste
 walking to me with the maker

 My body is bent and broken
 by long and dangerous leaps
 I can't work the fields of abraham
 and turn my head away
 I'm not a stranger
 in the eyes of the maker

 Brother john
 Have you seen the homeless daughters
 standing there
 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
