Lyrics for Gandhi by PATTI SMITH:
| | | Artist: | PATTI SMITH |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Gandhi | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 77 | | | | Lyrics: | (SmithKayeRayShanahanDaugherty)
I had a dream Mr. King If you'll beg my pardon
I was
trespassing A sacred garden
And the blossoms fell And they dropped like candy
And nature
cried Gandhi Gandhi
And nature cried Gandhi Gandhi
When he was a boy He was afraid of
the dark
His mother would fast And pray at his feet
And the lamp burned as he slept Slept as
he dreamed
He was dreaming of his sisters Dressed in white muslin
Dressed in white muslin
Dancing in a ring
He was afraid of the dark And the lamp burned
And his mother fasted And
prayed as he slept
Dreaming of blossoms They were burning his throat
He had eaten flowers
Fell burning
Flowers fell burning From the young girls' hair
He was whispering Into his
god's ear
Let the children be so Let the children be so
And the lamplight flickered
flickered And his mother withered like Job
And he lay there dreaming And the blossoms
fell
And Tilak's trumpet Proceeded to call
And the blossoms fell And they dropped like
candy
And the people cried Gandhi Gandhi...
I had a dream Mr. King If you'll beg my
pardon
I was trespassing The sacred garden
And the blossoms fell Well, they dropped like
candy
And nature cried Gandhi Gandhi
Hey little man Awake from your slumber
Get 'em
with the numbers Get 'em with the numbers
He was frail and shy And the cast of his
mind
Was mercurial Was mercurial
As the sacred verbs Scrawled
In the dust On the
floor
On the floor Long live revolution
And the spinning wheel And a handful of salt
And
a handful of salt The untouchables
Dropped like candy They called to him
Gandhi Gandhi The
children of god
With hands full of candy They called to him
Gandhi Gandhi Feel our woes-acap | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
