Bruce Cockburn Anything Can Happen Lyrics

Anything Can Happen Lyrics

You could have gone off the Bloor Street viaduct

I could have been run
down in the street

You could have got botulism anytime

I could have
gone overboard into the sea 



Anything can happen

To put out
the light,

Is it any wonder

I don't want to say goodnight? 



I could have been hit by a falling pane of glass

You could have
had shark teeth write "finit"

We could have been nailed by some vigilante
type

In a case of mistaken identity -- obviously 



Anything
can happen

To put out the light

Is it any wonder

I don't want
to say goodnight? 



We could have been lynched and tarred and
feathered

Been on a plane that crashed in flames

Could have done
the neutron melt together

But here we are just the same! 



You could have been daggered in the dead of night

You could have been
gassed inside your car

I could have been walking in the open fields

And been drilled through the head by a shooting star 



Anything
can happen

To put out the light

Is it any wonder

I don't want
to say goodnight?
