Emmylou Harris - The Maker Lyrics






Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night
I stand with 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
Of Jean Baptiste's he's walking to me with the Maker
My body 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

Oh, river rise from your sleep
Oh, river rise from your sleep
Oh, river rise from your sleep

    Emmylou Harris & Daniel Lanois live at the Barbican/London was one of the best shows I ever attended. I`m glad we flew in all the way from Vienna

  2. T.... H....

    Great show. Greater Band. Spy boy  is an amazing record.

  3. P.... H....

    Wrecking Ball is a masterpiece Daniel Lanois pure genius he also worked on the joshua tree! his solo work is amazing aswell........................

  4. S.... C....

    I think any lover of the Wrecking Ball album and anyone who appreciates Lanois contributions , would love the book " Soul Mining " by Daniel Lanois . He speaks of the making of Wrecking Ball , meeting Emmylou for the first time , and the making of other Grammy Winning albums . Much is said of his choice of Johnson and Blade as his go to musicians .

    Love it Sally...hey come join our wonderful fb group Emmylou Harris & friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Emmylou introduces so many great musicians, from the Hot Band to Spyboy.  Brady Blades is a monster drummer.

    g.... ....

    gwmerr Any relation to the great Bryan Blades?

    g.... ....

    Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, not to mention all the behind the scenes musicians who never receive household fame — Emmylou certainly knows how to pick’em

  6. J.... R....

    How can I get a copy of the dvd of this performance?

    J.... R....

    @John Rozelle A performance of this show (approx 1 hour.) in Helsinki was produced commercially on DVD. It is excellent. I think some hunting on the net will turn one up. I think it is titled "Spyboy", but it's been a while...not sure.

  7. W.... M....

    How this video only has 351 views is criminal.

    W.... M....

    How Emmys music is sensored is tragic................
