Apropos foregående indlæg, så er dagens nostalgiske sang Patti Smiths “Frederick”, som er en klar capac-favorit. Den stammer fra albummet Wave fra 1979. Nummeret blev i øvrigt kopieret af den engelske sangerinde Sandie Shaw i 1986.
hi hello wake 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 nameFrederick name of care
fast asleep in a room somewhere
guardian angels [line a bed]
shed their light on my sleepy headI am a threshold yearning to sing
down with the the dancers having one last fling
here’s to the moment when you said hello
come on my spirit are you ready let’s gohi 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 deathnight of wonder for us to keep
set our sails channel [out] deep
after the rapture two hearts meet
mine entwined in a single beatFrederick you’re the one
as we journey from sun to sun
all the dreams I waited so long for
fly tonight so long so longbye 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 loveFrederick name of care
high above in sky that’s clear
all the things I’ve been dreamin’ of
are expressed in this name of lovebye bye hey hey
maybe we will come back some day now
but tonight on the wings of a dove
up above . . .This is dedicated to my clarinet teacher
