    I saw Bruce Cockburn at a cafe yesterday. the one other famous person I saw looked totally different in reality - Bruce Cockburn looked the same as he always did.



    Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
    You never get to stop and open your eyes
    One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
    And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
    When you're lovers in a dangerous time
    Lovers in a dangerous time

    These fragile bodies of touch and taste
    This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
    Spirits open to the thrust of grace
    Never a breath you can afford to waste
    When you're lovers in a dangerous time
    Lovers in a dangerous time
    When you're lovers in a dangerous time
    Lovers in a dangerous time

    When you're lovers in a dangerous time
    Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
    But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
    You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
    When you're lovers in a dangerous time
    Lovers in a dangerous time
    When you're lovers in a dangerous time
    Lovers in a dangerous time

    I forget what album it's on, but I think it's one of their recent ones; Oysterband do a great cover of this, which is how I know the song. Wish I had that CD handy about now.

    Barenaked Ladies did a cover of it, too. You can see where I live if you watch their video for it.

    I can see where you live if I fly my spyplane north of the border, too.
