About A Boy Lyrics

by Patti Smith

toward another
he has gone
to breathe an air
beyond his own
towrd a wisdom
beyond the shelf
towrd a dream
that dreams itself

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e77374-patti_smith~about_a_boy_lyrics.html ]
about a boy
beyond it all

from the forest
from the foam
from the field
that he had
known
toward a river
twice as blessed
toward the inn
of happiness

about a boy
beyond it all

from a chaos
raging sweet
from the deep
and dismal street
towrd another kind of peace
toward the great
emptiness

about a boy
beyond it all
