While listening to Yahoo Music LAUNCHcast Radio I decided to start my day with some Dave Matthews. His song “The Maker” just played and I caught a portion of the lyrics and restarted it from the beginning. I’m a fan of Dave Matthews but I’ve never heard this song before so it was a good find.
I wanted to share the lyrics of the song with you and see what you though about them? I was also caused to think of Dave’s name as well, pretty Biblical sounding as well.
Oh, Oh Deep water
Black, and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I’ve run a twisted mile
I’m a stranger
in the eyes of the MakerI could not see
for 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
John Baptist
walking to me with the MakerMy body is bent and broken
by long and dangerous sleep
I can work the fields of Abraham
and turn my head away
I’m not a stranger
in the hands of the MakerBrother 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
burning in the eyes of the Makeroh river rise from your sleep….
Good stuff. Thoughts?
