Patti Smith - Fireflies lyrics

rate me

I been walking

Wherefore am I walking

I been walking

If you see me walking

A-walking a-walking

If you see me walking

Don't avert your eyes

Don't turn away

Don't turn away

I'm coming to you

Oh-oh oh oh

Oh-oh oh to you

Living in steps

Till I can rest

Living in steps

Till I'm blessed by you

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

(living in steps)

Thy moans

Till we can rest

Living in steps

Till I'm by you

All I ever wanted

I and I alone

I will wash your feet

And dry them with my hair

I will give to you

Every other tear

Thy breath thy spear

Thy season of mirth

Seven steps

Until I can rest

Seven steps

Til I am blessed by you

All I ever wanted

I wanted I wanted

All I ever wanted

I wanted for you

Oh-wo-wo ...

Oh-wo-wo ...

All I ever wanted

I wanted for you

Five steps

Till I can rest

Five steps

Till I'm blessed by you

Four steps

Till I can rest

Four steps

Till I'm blessed by you

All I ever wanted

I wanted I wanted

All I ever wanted

I wanted for you

I and I alone

Ghost of thy ghost

Walk I will walk

A burning stem

To illume thy night

(three steps...)

Blood of my blood

Bone of my bone

(three steps...)

Can but do for you

I and I alone

Two steps

Till I can rest

Two steps

Till I'm blessed by you

Oh oh oh ...

Can but do for you

I and I alone

Oh oh oh ...
