Patti Smith - Blue Poles Lyrics
Mother as I write the sun dissolves
Blood life streaming cross my hand
And these words, these words
Hope dashed immortal hope
Hope streaking the canvas sky
Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
We joined the long caravan
Hungry dreaming going west
Just for work just to get a job
And we never got lucky
We just forged on
And the dust the endless dust
Like a plague it covered everything
Hal fell with the fever
Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
We prayed we prayed for rain
I never wanted to see the sun again
All my dresses you made by hand
We left behind on the road
Hal died in my arms
We buried him by the river
Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write
Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write

Patti Smith Blue Poles Comments
All my life been searchin' for a friend with depth. It's as if Patti fell in a well, and she's climbing out with me clinging to her shoulders.
Mother, as I write, the sun dissolves
Blood life streaming, 'cross my hand
And these words, these words
Hope dashed immortal hope
Hope streaking the canvas sky
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
We joined the long caravan
Hungry, dreaming, going west
Just for work, just to get a job
And we never got lucky
We just forged on, and the dust
The endless dust, like a plague
It covered everything
Hal fell, with the fever
And mother I did, what I could
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
We prayed, we prayed for rain
I never wanted, to see the sun again
All my dresses, you made by hand
We left behind, on the road,
Hal died, in my arms
We buried him, by the river
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write
Blue poles infinitely winding
As I write, as I write, I write
Thank you.
to my soulmate
Every now and then a clear harmonic cry gave new suggestions of a tune that would someday be the only tune in the world..
perfect memories from our special past
SHE soars high in the darkest of places
where as patti smith been hiding until now , truly amazing
Amazing.
Awesome 70 as they gave us
I love this song.
La voix grave, le rythme lent, le mouvement régulier contenu, c'est intenable. C'est-à-dire formidable. Pauvre Hal. Le morceau le plus réussi de Peace & Noise.
Patti is awesome!!!
