Emmylou Harris Where Will I Be Lyrics

Where Will I Be Lyrics

(Daniel Lanois)

The streets are cracked 
And there`s glass everywhere 
And a baby stares out 
With motherless eyes 
Under long gone beauty 
On fields of war 
Trapped in lament 
To the poet`s core 

Oh where  oh where will I be 
Oh where oh when that trumpets sounds 

Met an Indian boy in Ottawa 
He laid me down on a bed of straw 
Said don`t waste your breath 
Don`t waste your heart 
Don`t  blister your heels 
Running in the dark 

Oh where  oh where will I be 
Oh where oh when that trumpets sounds 

Yeah I like the heat 
Of your body laying under me 
May your wild lip get you where your going 
With your inventions your intentions, your laughter 
Your forever yearning 

Oh where  oh where will I be 
Oh where oh when that trumpets sounds 

I walked to the river 
And I walked to the rim 
I walked through the teeth of the reaper`s grin 
I walked to you rolled up in wire 
To the other side of desire 

Oh where  oh where will I be 
Oh where oh when that trumpets sounds 

Oh where oh where oh where when that trumpet sounds 
Oh where oh where oh when that trumpet sounds 

Well the heart opens wide like it`s never seen love 
And addiction stays on tight like a  glove 
Oh where  oh where will I be
