Lyrics for "Frederick" By "Patti Smith"

hi hello
wake from thy sleep
god has given
your soul to keep
all of the power
that burns in the flame
ignites the light
in a single
name

Frederick
name of care
fast asleep
in a room somewhere
guardian angels line a bed
shed their light on my sleepy head

I am a threshold yearning to sing
down with the dancers having one last fling
here's to the moment when you said hello
come on my spirit are you ready....let's go!!

Hi hi hey hey
Maybe I will come back someday now
but tonite on the wings of a dove
up above to the land of love

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Kiss to kiss breath to breath
My soul surrenders astonished to death

Night of wonder for us to keep
Set our sails channel out deep
after the rapture 2 hearts meet
Mine, entwined in a single beat

Frederick you're the one
As we journey from sun to sun
All the dreams I waited so long for
fly tonight
So long so long

Bye-bye Hey-hey
Maybe we will come back someday now
But tonight on the wings of a dove
Up above to the land of love

Frederick name a care
High above in the sky that's clear
All the things I've been dreaming of
All expressed in this name of love

Bye-bye Hey-hey
Maybe we will come back someday now
But tonite on the wings of a dove
Up above.......
