Geese come rushing on a river of wind
In the bright sky, bright sky

Wild music ripples like a wake behind
In the bright sky, bright sky

Go higher, go higher where the wind is all
In the bright sky, bright sky

Where the bullets get tired and fall
In the bright sky, bright sky

They fly out of vision taking part of my soul
In the bright sky, bright sky

Well, maybe together we can touch down whole
In the bright sky, bright sky

I never saw the colours in the northern dark
In the bright sky, bright sky

But there were all those people floating like Noah's Ark
In the bright sky, bright sky

And we all rush away on a river of wind
In the bright sky, bright sky

But if i live i'll be coming back again
In the bright sky, bright sky

Bela Fleck followed by Bruce Cockurn... Gonna be a great day here at RP ;)
Thanks RP!!
What's with the low rating on one of my favourite, most amazing virtuoso Bruce works?!?  

This is a Solid 10 at Least!

So Pleasantly surprised to have this pop onto the playlist!

Every time I hear this my soul feels restored! :)

Just watched this video. It really highlights and showcases his incredible finger style. What an amazing songwriter and musician! Thank you for posting about this video.

His last name, however, is spelled: COCKBURN

remove the chorus.let him sing alone.

Agreed. A great CD, though in some ways a bit dated. I also really like "Breakfast in New Orleans Dinner in Timbuktu."

Jeeze, I'm groing old: just heard Bruce Coburn and thought it was Joan Armatrading.
....and my subconscious, knowing the correct pronounciation of the surname, changed Cockburn into Coburn.

Nice. Saw Cockburn solo (for the second time) in a small theater in Wyoming a couple of months ago. I'll say it again--the guy's an awesome picker and puts on a great show. Don't miss a chance to see him.
Jeeze, I'm growing old: just heard Bruce Coburn and thought it was Joan Armatrading.

Perfect beautiful segue....
Great guitar picking here
