Gone again lyrics

Artist  : Patti smith 
Song : Gone again
 

Hey now man`s own kin 
we commend into the wind 
grateful arms grateful limbs 
grateful soul he`s gone again 

I have a winter`s tale 
how vagrant hearts relent prevail 
sow their seed into the wind 
seize the sky and they`re gone again 

fame is fleeting God is nigh 
we raise our arms to him on night 
we shoot our flint into the sun 
we bless our spoils and we`re gone we`re gone 

Hey now man`s own kin 
we commend into the wind 
grateful arms grateful limbs 
grateful heart he`s gone again 

Here a man man`s own kin 
he turned his back and his own people shot him 
and he fell on his knees 
before the burning plane 
and he beheld fields of gold his land his sun 
and he arose his blood aflame 
the clouds pressed with hand prints stained 

one last breath 
the sky is high 
the hungry earth 
the empty vein 
the ashes rain 
death`s own bed 
man`s own kin 
into the wind 
one last breath 
hole in life 
love knot tied 
braid undone 
child born 
the hollow horn 
warrior cried 
a warrior died 
one last breath 
lick of flame 
spirit moaned 
spirit shed 
the heavens fed 
man`s own kin 
grips the sky 
and he`s gone again 

Hey now man`s own kin 
we lay down into the wind 
grateful arms grateful limbs 
grateful heart he`s gone again 

Hey now man`s own kin 
he ascends into the wind 
grateful heart grateful limbs 
grateful man he`s gone again
