[Verse 1]
On this rooftop where we're sitting
In the rays of the setting sun
Glasses of wine on a crate between us
Catch the light—seem to glow from within
And there's a laugh
Hanging in the air
And there's no
Desperation anywhere
[Verse 2]
So many miles, so many doors
Some need patience, some need force
All fall open in their own due course
To allow us this time
And your limned
In light, golden and thin
Looks to me
Like you're lit up from within
[Chorus]
And look how far the light came
Look how far the light came
Look how far the light came
To paint you
This way
[Verse 3]
And I picture us in this light
Friendship a fine silver web
Stretched across golden smoky haze
And this is simple
And this is grace
And this light
Is a guest from far away
Passing through
The last whisper of day
[Chorus]
And look how far the light came
Look how far the light came
Look how far the light came
To paint you
This way
Look How Far was written by Bruce Cockburn.
Look How Far was produced by Bruce Cockburn & Colin Linden.
