bruce cockburn - one day i walk (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
oh i have been a beggar
and shall be one again
and few the ones with help to lend
within the world of men

[chorus]
one day i walk in flowers
one day i walk on stones
today i walk in hours
one day i shall be home

[verse 2]
i’ve sat on the street corners
and watched the bootheels shine
and cried out glad and cried out sad
with every voice but mine

[chorus]
one day i walk in flowers
one day i walk on stones
today i walk in hours
one day i shall be home
one day i shall be home

[outro]
thank you. we’re gonna play a song now and i’m going to work our way into it playing a very old piece. up until, uh, tonight i’ve introduced it as being a piece from the fourteenth century. i was corrected last night though by somebody who knew whose piece it was. uh, it’s from the fifteenth century, so. it comes from burgundy. uh, it was composed by a man named gilles binchois.
it was quite, he was quite a popular composer at the time, in that place. and you can imagine this tune being number five with a crossbow bolt or something on the burgundian hit parade.
