Daniel Lanois - The Maker

http://www.squidoo.com/daniel-lanois-songwriter
Oh, Oh Deep water
Black, and cold like the night
I've stand with my arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
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 across the great divide
In the distance i saw a light
Jean baptiste
walking to me with the maker

My body is bent and broken
by long and dangerous sleep
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 daughters
standing there
with broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
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
burning in the eyes of the maker

oh river rise from your sleep....

Dave Matthews mastered this song. Sorry to everyone who disagrees.

[abcforall]

@FutureUCLAStudent I think it's more that you're used to knowing the song through Dave.

[abcforall]

@Muaahahahaha69 You must like Dave Matthews.

That's like watching a news report about a crime perpetrated by a black and saying "that's why everybody hates blacks." Jerk. Off.

@FutureUCLAStudent Sorry, but no.

[MacLabFever]

this is like leonard cohen creating halleluyah not many people know the jeff buckley version isn't the original.

[MrLadyjack]

@abcforall totally agree with you there...

it's true that the dave and tim version is better but you have to appreciate the creativity it takes to think up this song, if not for daniel then we would never have the dave and tim track, thanks daniel

[FlipMcHooter]

Sorry... Emmylou & Spyboy do this song the best!
