Frederick Lyrics By Patti Smith Group

    hi hello awake from thy sleep
    god has given your soul to keep
    all of the power that burns in the flame
    ignites the light in a single name
    frederick name of care
    fast asleep in a room somewhere
    guardian angels lay abed
    shed their light on my sleepy head
    high on a threshold yearning to sing
    down with the dancers having one last fling
    here’s to the moment when you said hello
    come into my spirit are you ready let’s go

    hi hi hey hey maybe i will
    come back some day now
    but tonight on the wings of a dove
    up above to the land of love

    now i lay me down to sleep
    pray the lord my soul to keep
    kiss to kiss breath to breath
    my soul surrenders astonished to death
    night of wonder promise to keep
    set our sails channel the deep
    capture the rapture two hearts meet
    minds entwind in a single beat
    frederick you’re the one
    as we journey from sun to sun
    all the dreams i waited so long for
    our flight tonight so long so long
    bye bye hey hey maybe

    we will come back some day now
    but tonight on the wings of a dove
    up above to the land of love

    frederick name of care
    high above with sky to spare
    all the things i’ve been dreaming of
    all expressed in this name of love
