Smith Patti Dead To The World lyrics

Smith Patti
Gone Again
Dead To The World
Dead to the world my body was sleeping
on my mind was nothing at all
come a mist an aire so appealing
I'm here a whisper you summoned I called

I formed me a presence whose aspect was changing
oh he would shift he would not shift at all
we sat for a while he was very engaging
and when he was gone I was gone on a smile

With a strange way of walking
and a strange way of breathing
more lives than a cat
that led me astray
all in all he captured my heart
dead to the world and just
slipped away


I heard me a music that drew me to dancing
lo I turned under his spell
I opened my coat but he never came closer
I bolted the door and whispered oh well

REFRAIN

I laid in the rushes the air was upon me
wondering well I just couldn't discern
will he come back come back to me
oh I whispered will you ever return

I was feeling sensations in no dictionary
he was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
the life in his fingers unwound my existence
dead to the world alive I awoke
