Looking For You Was I
Patti Smith
Author’s Note - From "Dream of Life" 1988 - https://youtu.be/G-yzEUObuVw [Intro] Dsus2 Dsus2 [Verse 1] A Dsus2 A In the medieval night twas love’s design And the sky was open like a valentine Dsus2 A Dsus2 A All the lacy lights where wishes fall And like Shakespeare’s child I wished on them all Ahh to be your destiny was all that I pursued I could see the sights from the lofty heights but my heart obscured the view [Chorus] Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 I was looking for you looking for you What could I do I was looking for you [Verse 2] Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Along the black river the ambassador jewels And you were reflected in all that I saw Dsus2 A Dsus2 A In the towers of gold in the wheel and wing Gripping my senses like an ancient claim Many’s the time I knelt in the light appealing to all that I knew Guide my eyes and steps that I may find love true [Chorus] Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 I was looking for you looking for you What could I do I was looking for you [Verse 3] Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Come on darlin’ all that hearts desire Was written before us in the medieval fire Dsus2 A Dsus2 A It was love’s design in the glittering star Like Shakespeare’s child to be where you are [Outro] A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Looking for you. Looking for you A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Looking for you. Looking for you A Dsus2 A From the Portobello Road to the Port of Marseilles Dsus2 A Dsus2 Where the dervish turns where the wild goats play A Dsus2 Looking for you... x12
