Patti Smith Fireflies

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1:]
I been a’walking
Wherefore am I walking
I been a’walking
If you see me walking
A’walking a’wandering
If you see me walking
Don’t ever turn your eye
Don’t turn away don’t turn away
I’m coming to you

[Chorus:]
Eleven steps till I can rest
Eleven steps till I’m blessed by you

[Verse 2:]
I and I alone can but do for you
To twist in my hand the thorn of thy youth
To draw thy seed to turn in birth
Thy sighs thy moans I and I alone

[Chorus:]
Nine steps till I can rest
Nine steps till I’m blessed by you

[Verse 3:]
I will wash your feet and dry them with my hair
I will give to you every other tear
Thy mouth thy spear thy season of mirth

[Chorus:]
Seven steps until I can rest
Seven steps till I’m blessed by you

[Verse 4:]
All I ever wanted I wanted I wanted[x2]
Thy highs thy lows I and I alone
Ghost of thy ghost walk I will walk
A burning stem to illume thy night

[Chorus:]
Five steps till I can rest
Five steps till I’m blessed by you

[Chorus:]
Four steps till I can rest
Four steps till I’m blessed by you

[Chorus:]
Three steps till I can rest
Three steps till I’m blessed by you

[Chorus:]
Two steps till I can rest
Two steps till I’m blessed by you

[Outro:]
Blood of my blood bone of my bone
Can but do for you I and I alone
