Patty Smith - Boy Cried Wolf lyrics
rate meOh the story's told been told retold<br />
From the sacred scriptures to the tabloids<br />
All the fuss and fight none above a whisperThe soul of gold the belly of a boy<br />
<br />
Well they drew him from the forestLike they draw bloodTied him to a tree like St. Sebastian<br />
And he turned his head and let the arrows fly<br />
Through the trees, the trees<br />
The ornamental leaves<br />
<br />
Boy cried wolfWolf don't comeWolf withinBoy cried wolf<br />
In the ancient mold they're dancing down<br />
Calling to the moon but it don't answer<br />
And they fell on their knees<br />
And passed the bowl aroundAnd the blood the blood the sacramental blood<br />
<br />
Boy cried wolf<br />
Wolf don't come<br />
Wolf within<br />
Boy cried wolf<br />
<br />
I am the body I am the stream<br />
I am the wake of everything<br />
They bring me flowers that are myself<br />
Garlands of blood that are myself<br />
Slain the lamb that is himself<br />
<br />
Torn reborn the cries of our dismay<br />
Are nothing to the wind but whose to mind<br />
Kings are lifted up and kings are thrown<br />
<br />
Lost received retrieved<br />
The human tide<br />
<br />
Innocence had it's dayInnocence had it's dayInnocence innocence
