Amerigo - Patti Smith

[00:01.33]Patti Smith
[00:01.99]
[00:03.78]We were going to see the world
[00:05.62]In this land we placed baptismal fonts
[00:13.41]And an infinite number were baptized
[00:21.12]And they called us Caribe
[00:25.18]Which means men of great wisdom
[00:29.36]
[00:31.98]Where are you going?
[00:34.20]And are you going anywhere?
[00:40.88]Where are you going?
[00:43.10]Send me a letter
[00:45.23]If you go at all
[00:49.63]
[00:50.70]Ah the salvations of souls
[00:54.04]But wisdom we had not
[00:55.96]For these people had neither king nor lord
[01:00.02]And bowed to no one
[01:02.52]For they have lived in their own liberty
[01:06.01]
[01:07.79]Where are you going?
[01:09.86]And are you going anywhere?
[01:16.59]Going in circles,going in circles anywhere
[01:23.21]
[01:25.44]I saw and knew the inconstant shifting of fortune
[01:30.29]And now I write to you
[01:32.93]Words that have not been written
[01:35.91]Words from the New World
[01:40.98]
[01:43.10]Tracing the circles
[01:45.28]Moving across my eyes
[01:51.81]Lying on the ship
[01:53.73]And gazing at the western sky
[02:00.52]Tracing lazy circles in the sky
[02:07.25]
[02:25.42]Hey wake up! wake up!
[02:32.53]
[02:37.19]Where are you going?
[02:39.26]And are you going anywhere?
[02:45.99]Where are you going?
[02:48.07]Send me a letter
[02:50.09]If you go at all
[02:54.74]
[02:56.15]It's such a delight to watch them dance
[03:00.71]Free of sacrifice and romance
[03:05.22]Free of all the things that we hold dear
[03:10.17]Is that clear Your Excellency?
[03:14.12]And I guess it's time to go but
[03:18.68]I gotta send you just a few more lines
[03:23.89]From the New World
[03:28.34]
[03:29.91]Tracing the circles
[03:32.02]Moving across my eyes
[03:38.55]Lying on the ship
[03:40.22]And gazing at the western sky
[03:47.24]Tracing lazy circles in the sky
[04:15.65]
[04:18.96]And the sky opened
[04:21.01]And we laid down our armor
[04:23.20]And we danced naked as they
[04:26.59]Baptized in the rain
[04:28.81]Of the New World
[04:32.42]
