Broken Flag lyrics

Artist  : Patti Smith 
Song : Broken Flag



 Send "Broken Flag" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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 for 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 shed

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
