Patti Smith — Mosaic

Last night in Konya A voice carried me To the pulpit of the arrow Did you hear it too? The oracle was written On a silver leaf Last night I read the words Did you read them too? Precious heart, precious seed Precious life conceived In the ring of fire In the sleep of peace Nothing stops desire For the human beat Last night was a rapture In the mosaic sky Dropping shards of love Dropping shards of love Precious heart, precious seed Precious life conceived In the ring of fire In the sleep of peace Nothing stops desire For the human beat I hunger for the cooling flame I hunger for the infinite game Last night in Konya A voice carried me To the pulpit of the arrow Did you hear it too? The oracle was written On a silver leaf Last night I read the words Did you read them too? Devour me, ah, devour me Oh precious life Oh precious seed Oh precious heart That beats In a ring of fire In a sleep of peace Nothing stops The human beat The human beat
