Patty Smith Grateful Lyrics

Grateful Lyrics

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
