Wondering Where the Lions Are
Bruce Cockburn

(CAPO @ II)
D   G6   D   G6   D   G6   D   G6
Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

Had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as fright'ning as they were before
But I'm thinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

Walls windows trees, waves coming through
You be in me and I'll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me

Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me


Chorus:

Em7   Dadd9   Em7   Dadd9   Em7   Dadd9
And I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are
I'm wondering where the lions are,   m-hm
wondering where the lions are       aah          aah

Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
Thousand year old petroglyphs doing a double take
Pointing a finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy

Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun       
Polished and precise like the brain behind the gun (should be!)
They got me thinking 'bout eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me


Chorus:

Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days they're gonna sail away
Gonna sail into eternity
Some kinda ecstasy got a hold on me


Chorus, repeat, and fade.
