Requiem |
| 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 into 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 |
| Di-di-di |
| Well, I saw a bird today; |
| I looked aside and walked away |
| Along the strand |
