| Lyrics: | Well I saw a bird today - flying from a bush and the wind blew it away.
And the black-eyed
mother sun scorched the butterfly at play - velvet
veined I saw it burn.
With a
wintry storm-blown sigh, a silver cloud blew right on by
And, taking in the morning, I sang - O
Requiem.
Well, my lady told me, "Stay."
I looked aside and walked away along the
Strand.
But I didn't say a word, as the train time-table blurred close behind the
taxi stand.
Saw her face in the tear-drop black cab window.
Fading in the traffic;
watched her go.
And taking in the morning, heard myself singing - O Requiem.
Here I go
again. It's the same old story.
[Instrumental]
Well, I saw a bird today -
I looked aside and walked away along the Strand |
