Bruce Cockburn You Point To The Sky Lyrics

You Point To The Sky Lyrics

You point to the sky

The sky

Is reflected in your eyes

And
I

Want to fly

On a carpet of brown leaves

We retrace the
steps of change

Construct a tapestry of what will come 



You
point to the sea

I see

What seems to be so free

Bound by

Empty sky

On a tower of gray earth

Far above the spray-struck
stone

We climb toward the melting point of time 



Here we
tumble down the path

Comic beggars trading laughs

For scraps from
the tables of the wise
