Jethro Tull - Requiem Lyrics
Well, I saw a bird today --- flying from a bush and theWind blew it away.And the black-eyed mother sun scorched the butterflyAt play --- velvet veined.I saw it burn.With a wintry storm-blown sigh, a silver cloud blewRight 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 didnt say a word, as the train time-table blurredClose 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.Its the same old story.Well, I saw a bird today --- I looked aside and walkedAway along the strand.
