Death Singing
Patti Smith Song Lyrics

Artist: Patti Smith
Album: Peace And Noise (1997)

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.
