Bruce Cockburn One Of The Best Ones Lyrics

One Of The Best Ones Lyrics

Guess I'd get along without you

If I had no choice

It's taken me
this long to find you 



Done a lot of getting ready for this

Some things we learn so slow

But look at you, you've got plenty behind
you 



There's lots of ways to hit the ground

Not many answers
to be found

We're faced with mysteries profound

And this is one of
the best ones 



There are eight million mysteries

In the
naked body

Can't even sight on some distant horizon 



Like
the nine billion names of God

Don't bring you any closer

To anyone
you can simply set eyes on 



But in the same way it's as real

Don't always recognize what I feel

But of the dancing scenes that life
reveals

This is one of the best ones 



Say what you will

There's no snake oil or pill

Can make love less painful or fine

There's no theatre

Even of the absurd

Can express what goes on
in this meeting of hearts and minds 



Guess I'd get along without
you

If I had no choice

But please never make it so I have to 



Paid a lot of dues to get here

And after all this life

I'm a loser if I don't live with you 



There's lots of ways to
hit the ground

Not many answers to be found

We're faced with
mysteries profound

And this is one of the best ones
