Bruce Cockburn
World of Wonders
[Verse 1]
I stand on a bridge before the cavern of night
Darkness alive with possibility
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 I 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
