Bruce Cockburn Celestial Horses lyrics

Here comes those silver celestial horses
Rays of the moon in the mountain air
I'm steeped in the steam of the last wild hot spring
Maybe I'm melting but I don't care

There's darkness in the canyon
But the Light comes pounding through
For me and for you


Tomorrow may be a hissing blowtorch
Maybe a silken sky shaken by the wind
The world's in the wake of those whispering horses
But there's always a pillar of cloud on the valley's rim

There's darkness in the canyon
But the Light comes pounding through

For me and for you


Still river full of the depths of the candles
Burning for the free ones riding on the other shore
Even at the heart of these breathing shadows
You can feel us gathering at the door

There's darkness in the canyon
But the Light comes pounding through
For me and for you

For me and for you
