Patti Smith - About A Boy Lyrics - Zortam Music
Song:About A Boy
Album:Divine Intervention (6/30/96)Genres:Punk
Year:1996 Length:580 sec

Lyricist: Patti Smith

Lyrics:

Song about death of Kurt Cobain whom Patti had never met, but she appreciated very much.
Toward another he has gone
To breathe an air beyond his own
Toward a wisdom beyond the shelf
Toward a dream that dreams itself

About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all

From the forest from the foam
From the field that he had known
Toward a river twice as blessed
Toward the inn of happiness

About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all

From a chaos raging sweet
From the deep and dismal street
Toward another kind of peace
Toward the great emptiness

About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all

I stood among them I listened
I stood among them I listened not
I stood among them and I heard myself
Who I've loved better than you
So much so that I walked on
Into the face of God
Away from your world
And my sour stomach
Into the face of God, who said
Boy, I knew thee not, but boy
Now that I have you in my face
I embrace you. I welcome you
He was just a boy
Whirling in the snow
Just a little boy
Who would never grow
