mosaic

Patti Smith

Last night in Konya
A voice carried me
To the pulpit of the arrow
Did you hear it too?
The Oracle was written
On a silver leaf
Last night I read the words
Did you read them too?

Precious heart,precious seed
Precious life conceived
In a ring of fire
In a sleep of peace
Nothing stops desire
For the human beat

Last night was a rapture
In the mosaic sky
Dropping shards of love
Dropping shards of love
Precious heart,precious seed
Precious life conceived
In a ring of fire
In a sleep of peace
Nothing stops desire
For the human beat

I hunger for the cooling flame
I hunger for the infinite game

Last night in Konya
A voice carried me
To the pulpit of the arrow
Did you hear it too?
The Oracle was written
On a silver leaf
Last night I read the words
Did you read them too?

Devour me,ah,devour me

Oh precious life
Oh precious seed
Oh precious heart
That beats
In a ring of fire
In a sleep of peace
Nothing stops
The human beat
The human beat
