Down Here Tonight - Bruce Cockburn

    sweet wind blowing off the bay
    sweeping the heat of the day away
    making the leaves of the palm trees sway
    down here tonight everything's okay

    net's coming in and the anchor's down
    hour of darkness comes around
    stars dust the sky and the lights go on
    soon tonight will be filled with song

         pans gonna play and the fire burn bright
         talking drums say everything's all right
         beating of the sea sends a message
         to the far starlight
         "we're doing okay down here tonight"

    the end of the road's still far away
    but the travelling's better by the light of day
    this hour of darkness is the time to dance
    lay down your burdens -- give the beat a chance

         pans gonna play and the fire burn bright
         talking drums say everything's all right
         beating of the sea sends a message
         to the far starlight
         "we're doing okay down here tonight"

    (TOBAGO, 1/84)
