Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, 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
[Chorus]
Oh, where?
Oh, where will I be?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds?
[Verse 2]
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"
[Chorus]
Oh, where?
Oh, where will I be?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds?
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I like the heat of your body laying under me
May your wild lip get you where you're going
With your inventions, your intentions
Your laughter, your forever yearning
[Chorus]
Oh, where?
Oh, where will I be?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds?
[Verse 4]
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
Walked to the other side of desire
[Chorus]
Oh, where?
Oh, where, will I be?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds?
[Chorus]
Oh, where?
Oh, where?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds?
Oh, where?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds?
[Outro]
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?
