Bruce Cockburn The Embers Of Eden Lyrics

The Embers Of Eden Lyrics

You knelt on the carpet, crimson and stained

Light trickled over your
black dress like rain

Your lips were hot and my shocked heart screamed

And I can't scrape my eyes free of this dream 



We each occupy
the same spacetime

Matter, antimatter, tangled like vines

And the
awful tolling, and the cold rain outside

And I cannot scrape this dream
off my eyes 



And the embers of Eden burn

You can even see it
from space

And the great and winding wall between us

Seem to copy
the lines of your face 



And the embers of Eden burn

You can
even see it from space

And the great and winding wall between us

Seem to copy the lines of your face
