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
