Patti Smith Group - Broken Flag Lyrics

Lyrics Broken Flag - Patti Smith Group



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 Algiers
For we're marching toward Algiers
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
Marching, marching for Algiers
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
Children wave and raise their arms
We′ll be gone but they'll go on and on and on and on and on
