Bruce Cockburn High Winds White Sky Lyrics

High Winds White Sky Lyrics

High winds

White sky

Wild birds do glide

Tattered smoke
fades

Embers in the pipe

Move like

Life beginning 



High winds

Pyramids

Glittering ring

Blood of the king

Daughter of the stars

You are

Life beginning 



The
wind's travellers' tales tease the tops of the trees

the ships have all
sailed to the mouth of the sea... 



High winds

Wheel turns

The spider spins

Hands draw us in

River-scented skin

Moves
in

Life beginning 



Falsehood lies panting like a fish in the
palm...
