Bruce Cockburn - Strong Hand of Love lyrics

Down peppers the rain from a clear blue sky Down trickles a tear on a youthful face Feeling in haste and wondering why Up struggles the sun from a wounded night Out venture our hearts from their silent shrouds Trying to ignite but wondering how We can laugh and we can cry And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows We can dance and we can sigh And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows Young dreamers explode like popped balloons Some kind of emotional rodeo Learning too slow and acting too soon Time marches away like a lost platoon We gracefully age as we feel the weight Of loving too late and leaving too soon We can laugh and we can cry And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows We can dance and we can sigh And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows
