Come Back Little Sheba
Lyrics
|
By patti smith |
|
Come back little sheba |
|
I hear them calling |
|
Open your ears |
|
Awake from thy sleep |
|
High above |
|
The stars are falling |
|
Open your arms |
|
And you shall receive |
|
The lights of the city |
|
So bold and flashing |
|
All of it's riches |
|
Imparted to thee |
|
Robes of saffron |
|
Robes of standing |
|
A road of crimson |
|
Spread at your feet |
|
Your robes of standing |
|
Your robes of saffron |
|
Your road of crimson |
|
All pleasing to me |
|
But close your lights |
|
Close your gates |
|
I must arise |
|
My flock awaits |
|
Farewell little sheba |
|
I hear them a'calling |
|
Here is your staff |
|
Tend to thy sheep |
|
Good wishes be with you |
|
If that be your calling |
|
Farewell little sheba |
|
Arise and take leave |
