PATTI SMITH lyrics : "Trespasses"

(Smith/Daugherty)
Life is designed With unfinished lines
That another sings Each story unfolds

Like it was gold Upon a ragged wing

The bold and the fair Suffer their share

He whispered to his kin All of my debts
Left with regrets I'm sorry for everything


Trespasses stretch like broken fences Winding as they may
Trespasses stretch like broken fences Hope to mend them one
day


And she pinned back her hair Shouldered with care
The burdens that were his Mending the coat

That hung on the post In heart remembering

Trespasses stretch like broken fences Winding as they may

Trespasses stretch like broken fences Hope to mend them one
day


And her time was to come Called to her son
This your song to sing All of our debts
Wove with regrets Upon a golden string

And he found the old coat Hung on a post
Like a ragged wing And took as his own
The sewn and unsown Joyfully whistling
