Death Singing - Patti Smith

作词：Smith

作曲：Smith

In the straw-colored light

In light rapidly changing

On a life rapidly fading

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

With a throat smooth as a lamb

Yet dry as a branch not snapping

He throws back his head

And he does not sing a thing mournful

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

In the straw-colored light

He sings a black embrade

And white opals swimming

In a child's leather purse

Have you seen death swimming

Have you seen death swimming

With a throat smooth as a lamb

Yet dry as a branch not snapping

He throws back his head

And he does not sing a thing mournful

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

In the straw-colored light

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

In the straw-colored light

He sings of youth enraged

And the burning of Atlanta

And these viral times

And May ribbons streaming

And straw-colored curls a-turning

A mothe's vain delight

And woe to the sun

And woe to the door

And woe to the young

Another hearse is drawn

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

Have you seen death singing

In the straw-colored light
