Broken Flag

Broken Flag (Digitally Remastered 1996) - Patti Smith Group
Nodding though the lamp's lit low  nod for passers underground
To and fro she's darning  and
The land is weeping red and pale
Weeping yarn from Algiers  Weeping yarn from Algiers
Weaving though the eyes are pale  what will rend will also mend
The sifting cloth is binding  and
The dream she weaves will never end
For we're marching toward Algiers For we're marching toward Algiers
Lullaby though baby's gone  Lullaby a broken song
Oh  the cradle was our call  When it rocked we carried on
And we marched on toward Algiers  For we're marching toward Algiers
We're still marching for Algiers  Marching  marching for Algiers
Not to hail a barren sky  Sifting cloth is weeping red
The mourning veil is waving high a field of stars
And tears we've she'd
In the sky a broken flag  children wave and raise their arms
We'll be gone but they'll go on
And on and on and on and on
