The Maker -- Daniel Lanois

Oh Oh Deep Water
Black and Cold Like the night
I stand with Arms Wide Open
I've run a twisted mind (?)
I'm a stranger in the Eyes of the Maker

I could not see, For the Fog in my Eyes
I could not feel, For the Fear in my Life
|From acroos the greate divide
In the distance I saw a light
John Baptist walkin to me  with the maker
(It is my guess that he is saying John Baptist, he is saying it in French).

My body is bent and broken
By Love and dangerously (?)
I can't work the fields of Abraham
And turn my head away
I'm not a stranger in the Hands of the Maker

Brother John, Have you seen the Homeless daughter
Standing there, with broken wings
I have seen flaming souls, 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

Oh River Rise from your sleep

Rainbow
