Bruce Cockburn Loner Lyrics

Loner Lyrics

Down at the bus station

Shark grins and sandpaper conversation

Men's
faces women's bodies on the magazine stand

And a headline about Sarajevo
and Tehran 



They are radiant angels, they are earthly slaves

They are predators moving in their endless days

Days of striving,
nights of novocaine

Never going to bring them freedom from their pain 



I'm a loner

With a loner's point of view

I'm a loner

And now I'm in love with you 



Wild shadows, acid verbs

Eyelids opening dans mon coeur

Tu me touche comme la pression

Des etoiles sur les tenebres* 



In the elevator and the empty
hall

How am I ever going to hear you when you call

I'm always
living and I always die

on the event horizon of your eyes 



I'm a loner

With a loner's point of view

I'm a loner

And
now I'm in love with you 



* TRANSLATION: 



Wild
shadows acid verbs

Eyelids opening in my heart

You touch me like
the pressure

Of the stars on the darkness
