Emmylou Harris - Where Will I Be

Emmylou Harris - Where Will I Be (1995)

WHERE WILL I BE
(Daniel Lanois)

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 poets core

Oh where, oh where will I be
Oh where, oh when that trumpet sounds

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

Oh where, oh where will I be
Oh where, oh when that trumpet sounds

Yeah I like the heat
Of your body laying under me
May your wild lip get you where youre going
With your inventions, your intentions, your laughter
Your forever yearning

Oh where, oh where will I be
Oh where, oh when that trumpet sounds

I walked to the river
And I walked to the rim
I walked through the teeth of the reapers grin
I walked to you rolled lip in wire
To the other side of desire

Oh where, oh where will I be
Oh where, oh when that trumpet sounds

Oh where, oh where, oh where when that trumpet sounds
Oh where, oh where when that trumpet sounds

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
*****
