Dead To The World - Patti Smith

作词：Patti Smith

作曲：Patti Smith

Dead to the world

My body was sleeping

On my mind was nothing at all

Come a mist an aire so appealing

I'm here a whispering

You summouned I called

I formed me a presence

Whose aspect was changing

Oh he would shift

He would not shift at all

We sat for a while

He was very engaging

And when he was gone

I was gone on a smile

With a strange way of walking

And a strange way of breathing

More lives than a cat

That let me astray

All in all he captured my heart

Dead to the world and

Just slipped away

I heard me a music

That drew me to dancing

Lo I turned under his spell

I opened my coat but

He never came closer

I bolted the door and

Whispered oh well

With a strange way of walking

And a strange way of breathing

More lives than a cat

That let me astray

All in all he captured my heart

Dead to the world and just

Slipped away

I laid in the rushes

The air was upon me

Wondering well

I just couldn't discern

Will he come back come back to me

Oh I whispered will

You ever return

I was feeling sensations

In no dictionary

He was less than a breath

Of shimmer and smoke

The life in his fingers

Unwound my existence

Dead to the world alive I awoke

With a strange way of walking

And a strange way of breathing

Less than a breath of shimmer and smoke

The life in his fingers

Unwound my existence

Dead to the world alive I awoke

Alive I awoke

Alive alive I awoke

Alive I awoke

Alive I awoke

I awoke

I awoke

I awoke

Alive alive o

Alive alive o

Alive alive o
