Patti Smith - Looking For You (I Was) lyrics

rate me

In the medieval night

'Twas love's design

And the sky was open

like a Valentine

All the lacy lights

Where wishes fall

And like Shakespeare's child

I wished on them all

Ahh to be your destiny

was all that I pursued

I could see the sights

from the lofty heights

But my heart obscured the view

I was looking for you

Looking for you

What could I do

I was looking for you

Along the black river

The ambassador jewels

And you were reflected

in all that I saw

In the towers of gold

In the wheel and wing

Gripping my senses

like an ancient claim

Many is the time I knelt in the light

appealing to all that I know

Guide my eyes and steps

that I may find love true

Refrain

Come on darlin'

All that hearts desire

was written before us

In the medieval fire

It was love's design

In the glittering stars

Like Shakespeare's child

To be where you are

From the Portobello Road

To the Port of Marseilles

Where the dervish turns

Where the wild goats play

Looking for you

I was
