Bruce Cockburn
The Embers of Eden
[Verse 1]
You knelt on the carpet, crimson and stained
Light trickled over your black dress like rain
And your lips were hot, and my shocked heart screamed
And I can't scrape my eyes free of this dream

[Verse 2]
We each occupied the same space/time
Matter, antimatter, tangled like vines
And the awful tolling, and the cold rain outside
And I cannot scrape this dream off my eyes

[Chorus]
And the embers of Eden burn
You can even see it from space
And the great and winding wall between us
Seems to copy the lines of your face

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And the embers of Eden burn
You can even see it from space
And the great and winding wall between us
Seems to copy the lines of your face
