Whirl Away
Patti Smith Song Lyrics
Hello friend I've come a-calling passively stationed active patrol sliding in at high noon like some reluctant sheriff not want to get involved in it all who stands guard for each other why must we guard anything at all anything at all from the earth's four corners the people are calling forming equations but the questions are hard all men are brothers killing each other and mother earth is wringing in wonder who stands guard for each other why must we guard anything at all anything at all whirl away now X3 whirl away there's a cross on the road there's a great mill turning some seeking answers some born to dancers you can hold on the blade and turn around forever be flung into space into another kind of grace who stands guard for each other why must we guard anything at all anything at all whirl away now X3 whirl away whirl away now X3 whirl away (?) some giveth their hand some giveth their land some giveth their life you lay in the fields of grain the staff of life all around you but yet you, you will cut someone down for their possessions some material thing and our children are being blown away like wishes in the wind for the sake of their coat or the colors of their coat or the color of their skin or the name on their shoes and the mother cries Why they taken my son? and the father wonders Are they taking my boy? he extended his hand he gave them his land he gave them his bread he gave them his heart said hello friend hello friend X4 |
