Patty Smith Grateful
Ours is just another skin That simply slips away You can rise above it It will shed easily It all will come out fineI've learned it line by line One common wireOne silver thread All that you desire Rolls on ahead Like a ship in a bottle Held up to the sun Sails ain't going nowhere You can count every one Until it crashes unto the earth And simply slips awayYou can hide in the open Or just disappear Ours is just a craving And a twist of the wristWill undo the stopper With abrupt tenderness Die little sparrowAnd awakeSinging It all will come out fine I've learned it line by line One common wireOne silver thread All that you desire Rolls on ahead
