Daniel Lanois Where Will I Be song lyrics

the streets are cracked and there's glass everywhere

and the children stare with a motherless eyes

in arms of beauty and on fields of war

trapped in lament from the poet's core

oh where oh where will i be?

oh where when that old trumpet sounds?

i met an indian girl in ottawa

she said "you'll be all right when you wah wah

don't waste your breath don't waste your heart

don't blister your heels walking in the dark"

yeah i like the heat of your body laying under me

may your wild lip get you where you're going

with your inventions your intentions your laughter

your forever yearning

oh where oh where when that trumpet sounds?

you're talking and healing the scars

gnawing away at the steel bars

going down pure crawling in the cracks

going all the way down and coming all the way back

oh where oh where oh where when that trumpet sounds?

oh where oh where when that trumpet sounds?

well the heart opens wide like it's never seen love

and addiction stays on tight like a glove

oh where oh where will i be?
