Lyrics Patti Smith

Patti Smith

Cartwheels

Come my one, look at the world

Bird, beast, butterfly

Girls sing notes of Heaven

Birds lift them up to the sky

Spring is departing

Spring is departing

Her thoughts are darting like a rabbit

Like a rabbit 'cross the moon

Shines of light over your hair

As boys croon

Pretty in pink it makes me wonder

What could ever bring you down

I see tears falling

From those eyes of brown

Hearing a voice you turn your head

You vanish into the mist of your thoughts

And I want to grasp what brings you down

Open up those eyes of brown

The world is changing

Your heart is growing

Hearing a voice you turn your head

Girls turn by ones, by twos

Notes pour bad and tender

Eradicate your blues

The good world

The good whirl

Come my one, look around you

Bird, beast, butterfly

Girls sing notes from Heaven

Birds lift them up to the sky

I see brown eyes that see

Girls turning, girls turning cartwheels

The good world, good whirl

The good world, the good whirl

Come my one, look at your world

Don't let it bring you down

Come on open for me

Those eyes of brown

I see girls turning cartwheels

Cartwheels, cartwheels, cartwheels
