Bruce Cockburn Look How Far Lyrics

Look How Far Lyrics

On this rooftop where we're sitting

In the rays of the setting sun

Glasses of wine on a crate between us

Catch the light -- seem to glow
from within 



And there's a laugh

Hanging in the air

And there's no

Desperation anywhere 



So many miles, so
many doors

Some need patience, some need force

All fall open in
their own due course

To allow us this time 



And your
limned

In light, golden and thin

Looks to me

Like you're lit
up from within 



And look how far the light came

Look how far
the light came

Look how far the light came

To paint you

This
way 



And I picture us in this light

Friendship a fine silver
web

Stretched across golden smoky haze

And this is simple

And
this is grace 



And this light

Is a guest from far away

Passing through

The last whisper of day 



And look how far
the light came

Look how far the light came

Look how far the light
came

To paint you

This way
