JACKSON BROWNE
It is a dance we do in silence Far below this morning sun You in your life, me in mine We have begun Here we stand and without speaking Draw the water from the well And stare beyond the plains To where the mountains lie so still But it's a long way that I have come Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun Where the families work the land as they have always done Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone Across my home has grown the shadow Of a cruel and senseless hand Though in some strong hearts The love and truth remain And it has taken me this distance And a woman's smile to learn That my heart remains among them And to them I must return But it's a long way that I have come Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun Where your children will be born You'll watch them as they run Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone If you look for me, Maria You will find me in the shade Wide awake or in a dream It's hard to tell- If you come to me, Maria I will show you what I've made It's a picture for our lady of the well
