Daniel Lanois
Where Will I Be
[Verse 1]
All the streets are cracked and there's glass everywhere
And a baby stares with motherless eyes
Under long-gone beauty, on fields of war
Trapped in lament from the poet's core
[Chorus]
Oh, where?
Oh, where, 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
He said, "Don't waste your breath, don't waste your time
Don't blister your heels walking in the dark"
[Chorus]
Oh, where?
Oh, where, 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, where will I be?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds?
[Verse 4]
I walked to the river, I walked to the brim
I walked through the teeth of reaper's grin
I walked to you, rolled up in wire
To the other side of desire
[Chorus]
Oh, where?
Oh, where, where will I be?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds?
Oh, where?
Oh, where?
Oh, where?
When that trumpet sounds
[Verse 5]
Well, the heart opens wide like it's never seen love
And addiction stays on tight like a glove
[Outro]
Oh, where?
Oh, where, where will I be?
