Lyrics for Whirl Away by Patti Smith:
| | | Artist: | Patti Smith |
| | Album: | Peace And Noise | | Track: | Whirl Away | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | Hello friend
I've come a-calling
Passively stationed
Active patrol
Sliding in
high noon
Like some reluctant sheriff
Not want to get involved in at 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 questions
But the questions are
hard
All men and brothers are killing each other
And mother earth is ringing in
wonder
Who stands guard for each other
Why must we guard anything at all
Anything at
all
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Whirl away
There's a cross on
the road
There's a great will turning
Some seeking answers
Some are born with
answers
You can hold on to 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
Whirl away now
Whirl
away
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Whirl away now
Some give up
their hands
Some give up their land
Some giving their life
There in the fields of
green
Stops life all around you
And yet you will
Cut someone down for their
posesssions
Some material things
And our children they'll be blown away
Wishes in the
wind
For the sake of their coat
Or the colours of their coat
For the colour of their
skin
Or the name of their shoes
And the mother cries
Why are they taking my
son
And the father wonders
Why they've taken my boy
He extended his hand
He gave
him his land
He gave him his bread
He gave him his heart
Hello
friend
