Looking for you (i was)
by Patti Smith

In the medieval night
´Twas love´s design
And the sky was open
like a Valentine
All the lacy lights
Where wishes fall
And like Shakespeare´s child
I wished on them all
Ahh to be your destiny
was all that I pursued
I could see the sights
from the lofty heights
But my heart obscured the view
I was looking for you
Looking for you
What could I do
I was looking for you
Along the black river
The ambassador jewels
And you were reflected
in all that I saw
In the towers of gold
In the wheel and wing
Gripping my senses
like an ancient claim
Many is the time I knelt in the light
appealing to all that I know
Guide my eyes and steps
that I may find love true
Refrain
Come on darlin´
All that hearts desire
was written before us
In the medieval fire
It was love´s design
In the glittering stars
Like Shakespeare´s child
To be where you are
From the Portobello Road
To the Port of Marseilles
Where the dervish turns
Where the wild goats play
Looking for you
I was
´Twas love´s design
And the sky was open
like a Valentine
All the lacy lights
Where wishes fall
And like Shakespeare´s child
I wished on them all
Ahh to be your destiny
was all that I pursued
I could see the sights
from the lofty heights
But my heart obscured the view
I was looking for you
Looking for you
What could I do
I was looking for you
Along the black river
The ambassador jewels
And you were reflected
in all that I saw
In the towers of gold
In the wheel and wing
Gripping my senses
like an ancient claim
Many is the time I knelt in the light
appealing to all that I know
Guide my eyes and steps
that I may find love true
Refrain
Come on darlin´
All that hearts desire
was written before us
In the medieval fire
It was love´s design
In the glittering stars
Like Shakespeare´s child
To be where you are
From the Portobello Road
To the Port of Marseilles
Where the dervish turns
Where the wild goats play
Looking for you
I was
