Trespasses Lyrics by Patti Smith

Trespasses Lyrics

    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

    Trespasses stretch like broken fences Winding as they may
    Trespasses stretch like broken fences Hope to mend them one day

    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

    Trespasses stretch like broken fences Winding as they may
    Trespasses stretch like broken fences Hope to mend them one day

    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
