[ti:Nine]
[ar:Patti Smith]
[00:17.26]Night  a  nine  of  diamonds
[00:21.15]A  woman  lay  and  cries
[00:26.09]At  the  sister  of  Mercy
[00:30.31]On  a  Sabbath  day
[00:35.29]Night  a  nine  of  diamonds
[00:39.81]As  revelers  commence
[00:44.12]To  shiver  as  she  bore
[00:48.52]In  a  babe,a  radiance
[00:56.43]Brave  in  constant  motion
[01:00.55]Wherein  perfection  brews
[01:05.18]Darkness  as  his  brother
[01:09.82]Mischief  as  his  moon
[01:14.67]Summoning  beneath
[01:18.74]With  his  gypsy  moves
[01:23.78]Yearning  as  the  foal
[01:28.15]So  shy  and  beautiful
[01:39.96]Every  card  he  drew
[01:44.08]Had  a  different  face
[01:48.80]Lingering  and  lost
[01:53.33]Unholy  holy  ghosts
[02:00.26]I  tend  to  play  them  all
[02:04.63]He  spoke  with  confidence
[02:09.06]Another  kind  of  strange
[02:13.80]To  shift  in  loneliness
[02:20.97]He  sought  not  for  himself
[02:25.16]The  empire  he  would  find
[02:29.98]Save  the  golden  womb
[02:34.41]He  enters  in  his  mind
[03:58.47]We  will  die  a  littler
[04:03.71]The  rogues  whistling
[04:09.78]Nine  blue-eyed  sailors
[04:15.33]Tip  their  caps  to  him
[04:21.68]As  he  passes  through  them
[04:27.44]More  vagabond  than  king
[04:33.41]With  diamonds  on  his  sleeves
[04:39.87]Like  a  harlequin
