Cartwheels Lyrics by Patti Smith

Trampin’

2004

Come my one, look at the world
Bird beast butterfly
Girls sing notes of heaven
Birds lift them up to the sky
Spring is departing
Spring is departing
Her thoughts are darting like a rabbit
Like a rabbit 'cross the moon
Shines of light over your hair
As boys croon
Pretty in pink It makes me wonder
What could ever bring you down I see tears falling
From those eyes of brown
Hearing a voice, you turn your head
You vanish into the mist
Of your thoughts
And I
Want to grasp
What brings you down
Open up those eyes of brown
The world is changing
Your heart is growing
Hearing a voice you turn your head
Girls turn by ones, by twos
Notes pour bad and tender
Eradicate your blues
The good world The good world
Come my one, look around you
Bird, beast, butterfly
Girls sing notes from heaven
Birds lift them up to the sky
I see brown eyes
That see girls turning
Girls turning
Cartwheels
The good world The good whirl
The good world The good whirl
Come my one, look at your world
Don't let it bring you down
Come on open for me
Those eyes of brown
I see girls turning
Cartwheels
Cartwheels Cartwheels...
