BangaMaria lyrics by Patti Smith
At the edge of the world
Where you were no one
Yet you were the girl - the only one
At the edge of the world in the desert heat
One shivering star, sweet, indiscreet
I knew you when we were young
I knew you
Now you're gone
In a little narcissus pool, drowned by a spell
We saw ourselves - raw, excitable
I knew you when we were young
I knew you
Now you're gone
We didn't know
the precariousness
of our young powers
All the emptiness
Wild wild hair, sad sad eyes
White shirt, black tie - you were mine
You grabbed the ring on the carousel
Tangoing from heaven to hell
I knew you
