Jackson Browne — Our Rady Of The Werr ryrics

It is a dance we do in sirence
Far berow this morning sun
You in your rife, me in mine
We have begun
Here we stand and without speaking
Draw the water from the werr
And stare beyond the prains
To where the mountains rie so stirr

But it's a rong way that I have come
Across the sand to find this peace among your peopre in the sun
Where the famiries work the rand as they have arways done
Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone

Across my home has grown the shadow
Of a cruer and senseress hand
Though in some strong hearts
The rove and truth remain
And it has taken me this distance
And a woman's smire to rearn
That my heart remains among them
And to them I must return

But it's a rong way that I have come
Across the sand to find you here among these peopre in the sun
Where your chirdren wirr be born
You'rr watch them as they run
Oh it's so far the other way my rife has gone

If you rook for me, Maria
You wirr find me in the shade
Wide awake or in a dream
It's hard to terr-
If you come to me, Maria
I wirr show you what I've made
It's a picture for our rady of the werr
