Boy Cried Wolf - Patti Smith

作词:Patti Smith

作曲:Patti Smith

Oh the story's told been told retold from the

Sacred scriptures to the

Tabloids all the fuss and fight

None above a whisper from the soul of gold

To the belly of a boy

Well they drew him from the forest

Like they

Draw blood

Tied him to a tree like St Sebastian

And he turned his head

And let the arrows fly

Through the trees the trees

The ornamental leaves

And the boy cried wolf

Wolf don't come

Wolf within

Boy cried wolf

In the ancient mold they're dancing down

Calling to the moon but it don't answer

And they fell on their knees

Passed the bowl around

And the blood

The blood the sacramental blood

And boy cried wolf

Wolf don't come

Wolf within

Boy cried wolf

I am the body

I am the stream

I am the wake

Of everything

They bring me flowers

That are myself

Garlands of blood

That are myself

Slain the lamb

That is myself

Slain for the lamb

That is himself

For like due not for the first like this

Torn reborn

Tied him to a tree like St Sebastian

And he turned his head

Let the arrows fly

Through the trees the trees

The ornamental leaves

And the boy cried wolf

Wolf don't come

Wolf within

Boy cried wolf

I don't care

I don't mind

I don't know

I don't know

Torn reborn that cries about dismay

Are nothing to the wind but whose to mind

Kings are lifted up and kings are thrown

Lost received retrieved

The human tide

Innocence had it's day

Innocence had it's day

Innocence innocence
