Bruce Cockburn Laughter Lyrics

Laughter Lyrics

A laugh for the way my life has gone

A laugh for the love of a friend

A laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world

The love that will
never end

Ha Ha Ha... 



Let's hear a laugh for the man of the
world

Who thinks he can make things work

Tried to build the New
Jerusalem

And ended up with New York

Ha Ha Ha... 



A
laugh for the sun redballing

Through the thermal inversion haze

A
laugh for the nuclear good-time boys

Numbering all our days

Ha Ha
Ha... 



A laugh for the newsprint nightmare

A world that
never was

Where the questions are all "why?"

And the answers are
all "because."

Ha Ha Ha... 



A laugh for the dogs barking at
our heels

They don't know where we've been

A laugh for the dirty
window pane

Hiding the love within

Ha Ha Ha... 



Tapping our feet to an ancient tune

A laugh for the time gone by

A laugh for me and Kitty in the delivery room

Waiting for the child's
first cry

Ha Ha Ha...
