Trespasses
Patti Smith
[Intro] [Verse] Life is designed With unfinished lines That another sings Each story unfolds Like it was gold Upon a ragged wing The bold and the fair Suffer their share He whispered to his kin All of my debts Left with regrets I’m sorry for everything [Chorus] Trespasses stretch like broken fences Winding as they may Trespasses stretch like broken fences Hope to mend them one day [Verse] And she pinned back her hair Shouldered with care The burdens that were his Mending the coat That hung on the post In heart remembering [Interlude] x2 [Chorus] Trespasses stretch like broken fences Winding as they may Trespasses stretch like broken fences Hope to mend them one day [Verse] And her time was to come Called to her son This your song to sing All of our debts Wove with regrets Upon a golden string And he found the old coat Hung on a post Like a ragged wing And took as his own The sewn and unsown Joyfully whistling
