Patti Smith Group - Broken Flag lyrics

Nodding though the lamp's lit low
Nod for passers underground
To and fro she's darning and the
Land is weeping red and pale
Weeping yarn from Algiers weeping
Yarn from Algiers

Weaving though the eyes are pale what
Will rend will also mend
The sifting cloth is binding and the
Dream she weaves will never end
For we're marching toward Algiers for
We're marching toward Algiers

Lullaby though baby's gone lullaby
A broken song
Oh, the cradle was our call when
It rocked we carried on
And we marched on toward Algiers
Forward marching toward Algiers
We're still marching for Algiers marching
Marching for Algiers
Not to hail a barren sky the
Sifting cloth is weeping red
The mourning veil is waving high a field
Of stars and tears we've shed
In the sky a broken flag children
Wave and raise their arms
We'll be gone but they'll go on and
On and on and on and on
