Bruce Cockburn - Great Big Love Lyrics
Evening sun slants across the road
Painting everything with gold
I'm headed for home, got a woman there
I can barely wait to hold
Got wind in my hair, got the heat inside
An empty head and a messed-up bed
I'll be floating just above the ground
Great big love
Sweeping across the sky
Seen a lot of things in the world outside
Some bad but some good stuff too
Felt the touch of love in the works of God
And now and then in what people do
But sometimes we manage to shine
Like a light on a hill beaming out to space
From somewhere hard to find
Great big love
Sweeping across the sky
I ride and I shoot and I play guitar
And I like my life just fine
If you try to take one of these things from me
Then you're no friend of mine
Got a woman I love and she loves me
And we live on a piece of land
I never know quite how to measure these things
But I guess I'm a happy man
Great big love
Sweeping across the sky

Bruce Cockburn Great Big Love Comments
I heard this tune on the radio and it got me thinking of my dog. Would be cool to see a wispy cloud in the shape of a dog float on by slowly...
I am a big Cockburn fan. But I remember buying this album and hearing this song for the first time. Musically just passable, but such a disappointment lyrically. How did this great Candian poet go from to the awesome
"Waves can't break without rocks that dissolve into sand
We can't dance without seasons upon which to stand
Eden is a state of rhythm like the sea Is a timeless change
Turn your eyes to the world where we all sit and dream"
to the awful
"I ride and I shoot and I play guitar, and I like my life just fine
if you try to take one of these things from me then you're no friend of mine"
Imo> this ketchy tune is absolutely brilliant! Bruce delivers the song in total perfection. Butt.....tttttttt !!
... after a few song replays , you then watch the music video... what a masterpeice !!! Mr BC was perfectly scripted in the vid. Saw him live... back in 1995???
Much Gratitude and Love for sharing with us Bruce!
Been a fan of this guy's music for years, got me through some pretty tough times, when are you coming to Dublin Bruce?
one of the nicest, humblest guys I've met in a shitty business...
What a good horse!
.....as I envisioned my past days touring from PA and NJ back home to my family in CT.
I saw Bruce do this one live with Kevin Welch on one of those TNN shows 20 years ago. I think it's better live
I love Cockburn, and this is a great song, but this is one of the worst videos on the planet. UGH.
What is the purpose of all of the silly rainbow 'ad' fluff surrounding this video? This worthless bling junk is an insult to the music!!!!!
One of my favorite Cockburn tunes, thanks to the 1991 Columbia CD, lol ... hard to believe this tune is over 20 yrears old, and still going strong :)
lovelovelove!!!
Love the lyrics, sentiment, everything about the song.
great tune
