Patti Smith - Broken Flag Lyrics






Nodding tho the lamp's lit low, nod for passers underground.
To and fro she's darning, and the land is weeping red and pale.
Weeping yarn from Algiers. Weeping yarn from Algiers.

Weaving tho the eyes are pale, what will rend will also mend.
The sifting cloth is binding, and the dream she weaves will never end.
For we're marching toward Algiers. For we're marching toward Algiers.

Lullaby tho baby's gone. Lullaby a broken song.
Oh, the cradle was our call. When it rocked we carried on.
And we marched on toward Algiers. For we're marching toward Algiers
We're still marching for Algiers. Marching, marching for Algiers.
Not to hail a barren sky. Sifting cloth is weeping red.
The mourning veil is waving high a field of stars and tears we've shed.
In the sky a broken flag, children wave and raise their arms.
We'll be gone but they'll go on and on and on and on and on.

    Broken Flag
    Patti Smith
    Nodding though the lamp's lit low
    Nod for passers underground
    To and fro she's darning
    And the land is weeping red and pale
    Weeping yarn from Algiers
    Weeping yarn from Algiers
    Weaving though the eyes pale
    What will rend will also mend
    The sifting cloth is binding
    And the dream she weaves will never end
    For we're marching toward Algier
    For we're marching toward Algier
    Lullaby though baby's gone
    Lullaby a broken song
    Oh, the cradle was our call
    When it rocked we carried on
    And we marched on toward Algiers
    For we're marching toward Algiers
    We're still marching for Algiers
    For we're marching toward Algier
    For we're marching toward Algier
    Not to hail a barren sky
    The sifting cloth is weeping red
    The mourning veil is waving high
    A field of stars and tears we've shed
    In the sky a broken flag
    Choldren wave and raise their arms
    We'll be gone but they'll go on and on and on and on and on

    @john grossi Strange that the Rooskies have programmed a 'bot to go sleazing through 2-month-old YouTube comments to find somebody to troll. Getting desperate, there, Vlad?
