Daniel Lanois
The Maker (Live at Oakland Coliseum Arena, October 31, 1992)
[Verse 1]
Oh, deep water
Black and cold like the night
Stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
[Bridge]
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the faith in my life
Across the great divide
In the distance I saw a light
Jean Baptiste's walking to me with the Maker
[Verse 2]
My body is bent and broken
By deep and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of Abraham
And turn my head away
I'm not a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Brother John, havе you seen the homeless daughtеrs
Standing there with broken wings
I've seen the flaming swords
There over east of Eden
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Oh, burning in the eyes of the Maker
Oh, burning in the eyes of the Maker
