Patti Smith

A song for you


Listen Later

This is a little song for everyone. I am sorry I have missed a few posts. I will be back on track soon. Lenny Kaye and I recorded this today for you all. Happy Full Moon…….

Grateful

Ours is just another skin That simply slips away You can rise above it It will shed easily 

It all will come out fine I've learned it line by line One common wire One silver thread All that you desire Rolls on ahead 

Like a ship in a bottle Held up to the sun Sails ain't going nowhere You can count every one Until it crashes unto the earth And simply slips away You can hide in the open Or just disappear 

Ours is just a craving And a twist of the wrist Will undo the stopper With abrupt tenderness Die little sparrow And awake Singing 

It all will come out fine I've learned it line by line One common wire One silver thread All that you desire Rolls on ahead
