Bruce Cockburn Rumors Of Glory Lyrics

Rumors Of Glory Lyrics

Above the dark town

After the sun's gone down

Two vapour trails
cross the sky

Catching the day's last slow goodbye

Black skyline
looks rich as velvet

Something is shining

Like gold but better

Rumours of glory 



Smiles mixed with curses

The crowd
disperses

About whom no details are known

Each one alone yet not
alone

Behind the painfear

Etched on the faces

Something is
shining

Like gold but better

Rumours of glory 



You see
the extremes

Of what humans can be?

In that distance some tension's
born

Energy surging like a storm

You plunge your hand in

And
draw it back scorched

Beneath it's shining like

Gold but better

Rumours of glory
