Cowboy Junkies Anniversary Song
Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
As that of the rain soaked purple
Of the white birch in the spring?
Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful
Than on a warm fall night under a mackerel sky
The smell of grapes on the wind?
Well, I have known all these things
And the joys that they can bring
And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee
And to wear your ring
Have you ever had the pleasure of watchin'
A quiet winter's snow slowly gatherin'
Like simple moments addin' up?
Have you ever satisfied a gut feelin'
To follow a dry dirt road that's beckonin' you
To the heart of a shimmerin' summer's day?
Well, I have known all these things
And the joys that they can bring
And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee
And to wear your ring
And I don't know how I survived those days
Before I held your hand
Well, I never thought that I would be the one
To admit that the moon and the sun shine
So much more brighter when
Seen through two pair of eyes than
When seen through just one
Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
As a face in a crowd of people
That lights up just for you?
Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful
As when you wake by the side of that boy or girl
Who has pledged their love to you?
Well I have known all these things
And the joys that they can bring
Now every mornin' there's a cup of coffee
And I wear your ring
And I wear your ring
