Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, deep water
Black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger
In the eyes of the maker
[Verse 2]
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the fear in my life
And from across the great divide
In the distance I saw a light
Jean Baptiste
Walking to me with the maker
[Verse 3]
My body is bent and broken
By a long and dangerous sleep
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
Burning in the eyes of the maker
Burning in the eyes of the maker
[Verse 5]
Oh, river rise from your sleep
