Lovers In A Dangerous Time
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This fragrant skin this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
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
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
We were lovers in a dangerous time
We were lovers in a dangerous time
Words & Music by Bruce Cockburn

Barenaked Ladies Cover Version: Recorded for an album called Kick at the Darkness, a tribute to Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn, this became our first video and the first time that our faces invaded homes all over Canada. We took what was a four-on-the-floor rock song and turned it into a BNL-style bluegrass stomper, complete with Jim's bowed-bass solo and my out-of-tune wailing, which still inspires a generation of Canadians to imitate my voice à la Kermit the Frog. - Steven Page, 2001. |
