What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
The best cover song of all time (in my humble opinion) has got to be “Lovers in a Dangerous Time” originally by Canadian music artist, Bruce Cockburn, and covered by the Bare Naked Ladies. I wish I had the actual song to upload… I’ll try to track it down. In the mean time, here are the lyrics:
Lovers in a Dangerous Time
[as performed by the Bare Naked Ladies]
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
