Looking For You (I Was)
Patti Smith
In the medieval night it was loves design
And the sky was open like a Valentine
All the lacy lights where wishes fall
And like Shakespeare's child, I wished on them all
To be your destiny was all that I pursued
I could see the sights from the lofty heights
But my heart obscured of you
I was looking for you, looking for you
(Looking for you, looking for you)
What could I do, I was looking for you
Along the black river, the ambassador jewels
And you were reflected in all that I saw
In the towers of gold, in the wheel and the wing
Gripping my senses like an ancient claim
Many is the time, I knelt in the light
Appealing to all that I know
Guide my eyes and steps that I may find love true
I was looking for you, looking for you
(Looking for you, looking for you)
What could I do, well, I was looking for you
Come on darlin'
All that hearts desire was written before us
In the medieval fire it was loves design
In the glittering stars
Like Shakespeare's child to be where you are
Looking for you
(Looking for you)
Looking for you
(Looking for you)
Looking for you
(Looking for you)
From the Portobello Road
(Looking for you)
To the Port of Marseilles
(Looking for you)
Where the dervish turns
(Looking for you)
Where the wild goats play
(Looking for you)
I was
(Looking for you)
I was
(Looking for you)
Looking for you
(Looking for you)
Looking for you
(Looking for you)
Looking for you
(Looking for you)
Looking for you
(Looking for you)
