Cockburn, Bruce - Feet Fall On The Road Lyrics
Feet fall on the road
Bound to motion
Though chains be of gold
They are chains all the same
Awakens to find
It's not the river that flows
But the bridge that moves o'er
In the hand of the cloud
Liquid as time
The heron's wings well
Know the grace of space

Each of the verses is a separate Haiku. I think he did this on another song as well, but its name escapes me.

My sister Miranda got me on this record, oh about 37 years ago ( LOL .. yes, record ) Brilliant work ... Love it.
love this memories sweet
The theme has a very Buddhist/Zen cast - of an altered, unexpected, and insightful way of seeing. The second verse seems to refer to a poem by the Chinese Zen teacher Fu Ta Shih:
"Empty-handed I go and yet the spade is in my hands;
I walk on foot, and yet on the back of an ox I am riding:
When I pass over the bridge,
Lo, the water floweth not, but the bridge doth flow".
The musical lilt is of walking on, of being released from assumptions.
A lovely poem for the deeply bemused traveller.
