Cockburn, Bruce - 40 Years In The Wilderness Lyrics
Forty years in the wilderness getting to know the beasts
Projected and reflected on the greatest and the least
Forty years of days and nights - angels hovering near
Kept me moving forward though the way was far from clean
Take up your load
Run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun
Sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone
Take up your load
Run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone
Comes undone
Forty years in the wilderness dancing with the flies
Dazzled by the visions rolling out before my eyes
Angel-made graffiti, demons in disguise
You could trade away your birthright for another day's supplies
Or you could
Take up your load
Run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun
Sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone
Take up your load
Run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun
Sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone
Comes undone
Rising with the height of land, falling with the crowd
Spirits in the scouring wind called my name out loud
Said you could go to heaven, you could go to hell
You could hang out in between in the place you know so well
Or you could
Take up your load
Run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun
Sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone
Take up your load
Run south to the road
Turn to the setting sun
Sun going down
Got to cover some ground
Before everything comes undone
Comes undone

Cockburn, Bruce 40 Years In The Wilderness Comments
Absolutely Love listening to Bruce Cockburn !! .. such a modest sincere introspective intelligent creative musical Legend & humanitarian ❣❣ 😍💓
Met Bruce 2019 hes 74 years old still has the fire!
Love Bruce Cockburn music ❣❣ 😍💓
Bruce's acoustic guitar style mystifies me to the core ❣❣ 😊
Is that a little Messenger Wind lick in there? Love it. I used to have tab for Messenger Wind. Does anyone have tab (or youtube lesson) for 40 Years or Messenger Wind?
Been listening to, and cherishing this man's songs for over 35 years now. Can't believe he still keeps writing so many top-notch tunes! Keep going forever Bruce!
Wonderfilled and beautiful. Thanks Bruce.
Bruce you resonate with many generations all at once, True wisdom and care, God bless you.
Super song, playing. Expected. He's one of a kind
Great mid-life (or later) song, and cheaper than a corvette. Think I’ll learn it, does anyone happen to have tab for it?
A new Cockburn classic
Beautiful new Song - B.C. is still a real great artist, musician and Singer/Songwriter!
Thanks from an Ottawa native for 50 years of great music ...
Bruce is like a bottle of wine...better with age
exquisite....
Beautiful!
Just Beautiful , I have always admired Bruce's writing and guitar playing
brilliant
It's not he who chose the guitar, but the guitar needed him.
this is definitely my favorite song off the new album. Reminds me of Pacing the Cage.
it is quite similar :) a great vibe !
Judah Melton That whole album (charity of night) is one of his best.
might be my favourite song too. So pretty, fabulous chorus. One for the ages. Great rendition of it here.
