Bruce Cockburn Dont Feel Your Touch Lyrics

Dont Feel Your Touch Lyrics

In front of a newborn moon pushing up its glistening dome

I kiss these
departing companions - take the next step alone

I just said goodnight to
the closest thing i have to home

Oh - and the night grows sharp and
hollow

As a junkie's craving vein

And I don't feel your touch,
again. 



To be held in the heart of a friend is to be a king

But the magic of a lover's touch is what makes my spirit sing

When
you're caught up in this longing all the beauties of the earth don't mean a
thing

Oh - and the night grows clear and empty

As a lake of acid
rain

And I don't feel your touch, again. 



The last light of
day crept away like a drunkard after gin

A hint of chanted prayer now
whispers from the fresh night wind

To this shattered heart and soul held
together by habit and skin

And this half-gnawed bone of apprehension

Buried in my brain

As I don't feel your touch, again.
