Death Singing lyrics
Song information
Artist: Patti Smith Album: Farewell Reel Peace And Noise
Lyrics
By patti smith
In the straw-colored light In light rapidly changing On a life rapidly fading
Have you seen death singing Have you seen death singing
With a throat smooth as a lamb Yet dry as a branch not snapping He throws back his head And he does not sing a thing mournful
Have you seen death singing Have you seen death singing Have you seen death singing In the straw-colored light
He sings a black embrade And white opals swimming In a child's leather purse Have you seen death swimming Have you seen death swimming
With a throat smooth as a lamb Yet dry as a branch not snapping He throws back his head And he does not sing a thing mournful
Have you seen death singing Have you seen death singing Have you seen death singing In the straw-colored light
He sings of youth enraged And the burning of atlanta And these viral times And may ribbons streaming And straw-colored curls a-turning A mother's vain delight And woe to the sun And woe to the young Another hearse is drawn Have you seen death singing In the straw-colored light
