Patti Smith - About a Boy lyrics

rate me

Toward another

He has gone

To breathe an air

Beyond his own

Toward a wisdom

Beyond the shelf

Toward a dream

That dreams itself

About a boy

Beyond it all

About a boy

Beyond it all

From the forest

From the foam

From the field

That he had

Known

Toward a river

Twice as blessed

Toward the inn

Of happiness

About a boy

Beyond it all

About a boy

Beyond it all

From a chaos

Raging sweet

From the deep

And dismal street

Toward another

Kind of peace

Toward the great

Emptiness

About a boy

Beyond it all

About a boy

Beyond it all

[ ]

I stood among them

I stood alone

Boy boy

Just a boy

Just a little boy

[ ]

Just a little boy

Who will never grow
