My Blakean Year Lyrics - Trampin' - Patti Smith

In my Blakean year 

I was so disposed 

Toward a mission yet unclear 

Advancing pole by pole 

Fortune breathed into my ear 

Mouthed a simple ode 

One road is paved in gold 

One road is just a road 

In my Blakean year 

Such a woeful schism 

The pain of our existence 

Was not as I envisioned 

Boots that trudged from track to track 

Worn down to the sole 

One road is paved in gold 

One road is just a road

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Boots that tramped from track to track 

Worn down to the sole 

One road was paved in gold 

One road was just a road 

In my Blakean year 

Temptation but a hiss 

Just a shallow spear 

Robed in cowardice 

Brace yourself for bitter flack 

For a life sublime 

A labyrinth of riches 

Never shall unwind 

The threads that bind the pilgrim's sack 

Are stitched into the Blakean back 

So throw off your stupid cloak 

Embrace all that you fear 

For joy shall conquer all despair 

In my Blakean year 

So throw off your stupid cloak 

Embrace all that you fear 

For joy shall conquer all despair 

In my Blakean year
