Patti Smith - About A Boy Lyrics
Toward another
He has gone
To breathe an air
Beyond his own
Toward a wisdom
Toward a dream
That dreams itself
About a boy
Beyond it all
About a boy
Beyond it all
From the forest
From the foam
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 stood alone
Boy boy
Just a boy
Just a little boy
Just a little boy
Who will never grow

Patti Smith About A Boy Comments
[Verse 1]
Toward another he has gone
To breathe an air beyond his own
Toward a wisdom beyond the shelf
Toward a dream that dreams itself
[Chorus]
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
[Verse 2]
From the forest from the foam
From the field that he had known
Toward a river twice as blessed
Toward the inn of happiness
[Chorus]
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
[Verse 3]
From a chaos raging sweet
From the deep and dismal street
Toward another kind of peace
Toward the great emptiness
[Chorus]
About a boy beyond it all
About a boy beyond it all
[Outro]
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
RIP Andy x
24 years.

Thank you for the words. xxoo
My heart is standing out of my chest towards the speakers.
I know! She makes us all go totally cartoon. Big red heart poppin' out -- BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! YES? Yes, Kitti. Yes.
I love Patti! This is my music.
fuck you kung fu panda
на нашего Вертера похож
9 juillet 1996 Tu aurais eu 18 ans Joyeux Anniversaire mon Hugo
you dont know that for sure.
No, you're right.Talent wasted. But I don't think he was revered, just appreciated.
And he was a sad fucker, indeed. Just not in the way YOU say.
Wanty shut the fuck up
conspiracy theorist alert
kurts not dead.. he just went home
19 years without Kurt....
alplax twin 23 years without him. :)
Beautiful.
I agree with kurt
What did Amy Winehouse ever do?
Your revered Kurt took the easy path and left behind the remains of A FAMILY! Sad fucker! Talent wasted!
Fucking judgemental idiot, you have to go through the pain he went through to understand, but you obviously don't know shit about life.
long live the legend...
long live the legend...
So she did a song too for Amy Winehouse for the new Patti Smith's album "Banga". The song for Amy is "This is the girl". I can't wait to hear it!!!
Kurt would be proud :)
@willmilano
I can understand that.
Wonderfull picture
@BouzoukiBreton Omg I know soooo good
I´m crying again!!!
@BouzoukiBreton Yeah I've said that's the best Teen Spirit cover I've ever heard.
Kurt was an asshole. People like me have hurt over him since the day he died....17yrs of pain over somebody who didn't even care about himself.
THE S.I.N. Shut the fuck up.
THE S.I.N. ;-"I wanta quote 'Church n' State..!/OPINOINS..WHY WASTE YOURS..-eh'
Patti Smith is great!
Awesome!!!
Wow, höre ich grad zum erstenmal...
Interessant.
Ich hab auch nen Song über ihn geschrieben, der heißt auch so,...
Naja, ich kann mir bestimmt nicht vorstellen viele Menschen Songs für Cobain geschrieben haben,...
