Patti Smith - Kimberly Lyrics
The wall is high, the black barn,The babe in my arms in her swaddling clothesAnd I know soon that the sky will splitAnd the planets will shift,Balls of jade will drop and existence will stop.Little sister, the sky is falling, I dont mind, I dont mind.Little sister, the fates are calling on you.Ah, here I stand again in this old lectric whirlwind,The sea rushes up my knees like flameAnd I feel like just some misplaced joan of arcAnd the cause is you lookin up at me.Oh baby, I remember when you were born,It was dawn and the storm settled in my bellyAnd I rolled in the grass and I spit out the gasAnd I lit a match and the void went flashAnd the sky split and the planets hit,Balls of jade dropped and existence stopped, stopped, stop, stop.Little sister, the sky is falling, I dont mind, I dont mind.Little sister, the fates are calling on you.I was goin crazy, so crazy I knew I could break through with you,So with one hand I rocked you and with one heart I reached for you.Ah, I knew your youth was for the takin, fire on a mental plane,So I ran through the fields as the bats with their baby vein facesBurst from the barn and flames in a violent violet sky,And I fell on my knees and pressed you against me.Your soul was like a network of spittle,Like glass balls movin in like cold streams of logic,And I prayed as the lightning attackedThat something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack,Something will make it go crack, something will make it go crack.The palm trees fall into the sea,It doesnt matter much to meAs long as youre safe, kimberly.And I can gaze deepInto your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby,Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby,Into your starry eyes, oh.Oh, in your starry eyes, baby,Looking deep in your eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby, oh.Oh, looking deep in your eyes, baby,Into your starry eyes, baby, looking deep in your eyes, baby
