The Maker

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night I stand with arms wide open, I've run a twisted mile I'm a stranger in the eyes of the maker [Verse 2] I could not see for fog in my eyes I could not feel for the fear in my life And across the great divide in the distance I saw a light Saw Jean Baptiste walking to me with the maker [Verse 3] My body is bent and broken by long and dangerous leaps I can't work the fields of Abraham and turn my head away I'm not a stranger in the hands of the maker [Verse 4] Brother John have you seen the homeless daughters Standing there with broken wings I have seen the flaming swords there over east of Eden Burning in the eyes of the maker [Outro] Burning in the eyes of the maker Burning in the eyes of the maker Oh river (Oh river) rise from your sleep
