PATTI SMITH lyrics : "Looking For You (I Was) "

In the medieval night
'Twas love's design
And the sky was open

like a Valentine
All the lacy lights
Where wishes fall

And like Shakespeare's child
I wished on them all


Ahh to be your destiny
was all that I pursued
I could see the sights

from the lofty heights
But my heart obscured the view


I was looking for you
Looking for you
What could I do

I was looking for you

Along the black river

The ambassador jewels
And you were reflected
in all that I saw

In the towers of gold
In the wheel and wing
Gripping my senses

like an ancient claim

Many is the time I knelt in the light

appealing to all that I know
Guide my eyes and steps
that I may find love true


Refrain


Come on darlin'
All that hearts desire
was written before us

In the medieval fire
It was love's design
In the glittering stars

Like Shakespeare's child
To be where you are


From the Portobello Road
To the Port of Marseilles
Where the dervish turns

Where the wild goats play

Looking for you

I was
