Looking For You (I Was) — текст песни (Patti Smith)

In the medieval night
`Twas love`s 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

Ahh to be your destiny
was all that I pursued
I could see the sights
from the lofty heights
But my heart obscured the view

I was 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 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

Refrain

Come on darlin`
All that hearts desire
was written before us
In the medieval fire
It was love`s design
In the glittering stars
Like Shakespeare`s child
To be where you are

From the Portobello Road
To the Port of Marseilles
Where the dervish turns
Where the wild goats play

Looking for you
I was
