Frederick

by Patti Smith

Album: Wave

Hi hello
Wake from thy sleep
God has granted
Thy soul to keep
All of the power
And all of the gain
Is entwined
In a single
Name

Frederick
Name of care
Fast asleep
In a room somewhere
Guardian angels, up above
On the one I love.

I am calling
As the young thrush
Caught in the crest
Astonished tie death
On this night of wonder
On this night I know
I would give all
If you called
I say hello.

High! High!
Hey hey
Rejoin to me as
Lhe light fades
My soul surrenders
In my glove
Take this message
My dove
To the one I love.
