Lo And Beholden Lyrics

Patti Smith

I was alone and content in my world
Dancing on air
You sent to me a message that said
I like your styleWill you come to the temple tonightAnd dance for me thereI pledge to you all that you wishThe moon and the stars
Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up
Lo and beholden Come on you know it's true
Lo and beholdenOh I'm beholden to you

In the palace there was wild reverie
And the look in your eyes
As I dropped veil after veil
Was drunken desire
The dove calls and God notes it allThe naked truth
Here is my veil the seventh and last
It will cost you

Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up
Lo and beholden
Come on you know it's true
Lo and beholdenOh I'm beholden to you

The royal word has passed
The prophet's head is all I askFor beauty and the naked truth
It will cost you

Lo and beholden
Why don't you give it up
Lo and beholden
Come on you know it's true
Lo and beholdenOh I'm beholden to you
