Píseň: Trespasses

Interpret:
Patti Smith
Album:
Trampin'
Life is designed 
With unfinished lines
That another sings 
Each story unfolds
Like it was gold 
Upon a ragged wing


The bold and the fair 
Suffer their share
He whispered to his kin 
All of my debts
Left with regrets 
I'm sorry for everything


Trespasses stretch like broken fences 
Winding as they may
Trespasses stretch like broken fences 
Hope to mend them one day


And she pinned back her hair 
Shouldered with care
The burdens that were his 
Mending the coat
That hung on the post 
In heart remembering


Trespasses stretch like broken fences 
Winding as they may
Trespasses stretch like broken fences 
Hope to mend them one day


And her time was to come 
Called to her son
This your song to sing 
All of our debts
Wove with regrets 
Upon a golden string
And he found the old coat 
Hung on a post
Like a ragged wing 
And took as his own
The sewn and unsown 
Joyfully whistling
