Dead To the World Written by - Patti Smith From - Gone Again Dead to the world My body was sleeping On my mind was nothing at all Come a mist An air so appealing I'm here a whispering You summoned I called I formed me a presence Whose aspect was changing Oh, he would shift He would not shift at all We sat for a while He was very engaging And when he was gone I was gone on a smile With a strange way of walking And a strange way of breathing More lives than a cat That leD me astray All in all he captured my heart Dead to the world and just Slipped away I heard me a music That drew me to dancing Lo, I turned under his spell I opened my coat But he never came closer I bolted the door and whispered Oh, well With a strange way of walking And a strange way of breathing More lives than a cat That leD me astray All in all he captured my heart Dead to the world and just Slipped away I laid in the rushes The air was upon me Wondering Well, I just couldn't discern Will he come back Come back to me Oh, I whispered Will you ever return I was feeling sensations in no dictionary He was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke The life in his fingers unwound my existence Dead to the world Alive I awoke With a strange way of walking And a strange way of breathing Less than a breath of shimmer and smoke The life in his fingers unwound my existence Dead to the world Alive I awoke alive I awoke Alive Alive I awoke Alive I awoke Alive I awoke Alive I awoke I awoke Alive I awoke Alive alive Oh Alive alive Oh ©1996 Druse Music Inc / Stratium Music Inc / Yam Gruel Music / Guitarget Music |
