Colin Went Down To The Water Lyrics

Bruce Cockburn Colin Went Down To The Water

[Verse 1]
Track of the moon on the ocean tonight
Colin went down to the water
Beckoning path, such a beautiful sight
Colin went down to the water
Bound for the infinite, finally unbound
Freed in the spirit, a way forward found
Into the current, no slowing down
Colin went down to the water

[Verse 2]
Once in a while we lose track of the way
Colin went down to the water
Forget where the poles are, the plot of the play
Colin went down to the water
Lifted away, taken out of the fight
Gone to whеre all of the choices arе right
The sea's a receptacle brimming with light
Colin went down to the water
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Colin went down to the water
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Colin went down to the water

[Verse 3]
Sparkling horizon can lay your heart bare
Colin went down to the water
Stare 'til the glare is the only thing there
Colin went down to the water
"What's become of me?" cries the rooster at dawn
When in the palms plays a sorrowful song
One singer's singing, one singer's gone
Colin went down to the water

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Colin went down to the water
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Colin went down to the water
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Colin went down to the water
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Colin went down to the water
