Lyrics Death Singing - Patti Smith
In
the
straw-colored
light
In
light
rapidly
changing
On
a
life
rapidly
fading
Have
you
seen
death
singing
Have
you
seen
death
singing
With
a
throat
smooth
as
a
lamb
Yet
dry
as
a
branch
not
snapping
He
throws
back
his
head
And
he
does
not
sing
a
thing
mournful
Have
you
seen
death
singing
Have
you
seen
death
singing
Have
you
seen
death
singing
In
the
straw-colored
light
He
sings
a
black
embrade
And
white
opals
swimming
In
a
child's
leather
purse
Have
you
seen
death
swimming
Have
you
seen
death
swimming
With
a
throat
smooth
as
a
lamb
Yet
dry
as
a
branch
not
snapping
He
throws
back
his
head
And
he
does
not
sing
a
thing
mournful
Have
you
seen
death
singing
Have
you
seen
death
singing
Have
you
seen
death
singing
In
the
straw-colored
light
He
sings
of
youth
enraged
And
the
burning
of
Atlanta
And
these
viral
times
And
May
ribbons
streaming
And
straw-colored
curls
a-turning
A
mother's
vain
delight
And
woe
to
the
sun
And
woe
to
the
young
Another
hearse
is
drawn
Have
you
seen
death
singing
In
the
straw-colored
light
