Bruce Cockburn
Stained Glass
[Verse 1]
Small windows
Looking outward
Show me a sequined sky
Rubies shine in my glass of wine

[Verse 2]
Dusk breezes
On oiled water
Paint a pointillist facade
It's a ceaselessly shifting world

[Chorus]
Like today I'm far away
I see your face behind each time-blurred pane

[Verse 3]
Strings vibrate
Music leaps out
In a shimmering intrigue
Words unsaid whirl away like dust

[Chorus]
From the sidewalk-sweeper's broom
Across a fold in space you touch my hand
