Bruce Cockburn - Put It In Your Heart Lyrics






As I stare into the flames
Filled up with feelings I can't name
Images of life appear
Regret and anger, love and fear
Dark things drift across the screen
Of mine behind whose veil are seen
Love's ferocious eyes, and clear
The words come flying to my ear
Go on, put it in your heart
Put it in your heart
Terrible deeds done in the name
Of tunnel vision and fear of change
Surely are expressions of
A soul that's turned its back on love
All the sirens all the tongues
The song of air in every lung
Heaven's perfect alchemy
Put me with you and you with me
Come on, put that in your heart
Come on, put it in your heart
All the sirens all the tongues
The song of air in every lung
Heaven's perfect alchemy
Put me with you and you with me

Come on, put it in your heart
Come on, put it in your heart

    4 times for me...mid 80’s (World of Wonders tour), 1990, 1996, and just this year in October. Met him after the last concert. Such a kind and approachable man. Got the whole thing on video. He was cool with it.

    LYRICS : As I Stare into the flame
    Filled up with feelings I can't name
    Images of life appear
    Regret and anger, love and fear
    Dark things drift across the screen
    Of mind behind whose veil are seen
    Loves ferocious eyes, and clear
    The words come flying to my ear
    Go on -- put it in your heart
    Put it in your heart
    Terrible deeds done in the name
    Of tunnel vision and fear of change
    Surely are expressions of
    A soul that's turned it's back on love
    All the sirens all the tongues
    The song of air in every lung
    Heavens perfect alchemy
    Put me with you and you with me
    Come on -- put that in your heart
    Come on put it in your heart
    All the sirens all the tongues
    The song of air in every lung
    Heavens perfect alchemy
    Put me with you and you with me
    Come on put it in your heart
    Come on put it in your heart

    I just saw him in Surrey BC at the fusion Festival was it ever coool!!
    2014 it was so unexpeced to see him in Surrey of all places 
    wonderful concert we loved him up !!!!

    How is it possible that Bruce Cockburn isn't well enough recognized. I've been following him since the 70s! He's so great... well, I guess I don't understand the world... at all!

    L.... R....

    Buena música, entre tanta basura.
    gracias Luis!

    L.... R....

    There might be a little bit of mainstream blacklisting going on due to his politics and his power as an artist.

    L.... R....

    Ppl have no idea what good deep, spritual music is anymore.......men like him arent reaching the empty youth and adults.....Not saying that ppl are all like that, but most are, music isnt just entertainment, its beyond that, its what opens the door to the soul and heart........What are u supposed to get from a 30 yr old today talking about picking up 18 yr olds at a club........nothing.......Put that in your heart.........

  14. D.... F....

    My favorite living Canadian prophet.

    D.... F....

    He truly is...........

    D.... F....

    A great guy too. Met him this year after 35 years of listening. Best moment of 2019 for me.
