I Burn Today

I knew a girl With sad blue eyes Put out the feast I lost my psychic prize I did forget What the tarot maid did say I burn today I burn today Our house was filled With many birds She said to me I can understand their words The land will shake, so run away I burn today I burn today Yesterday I will burn For the times I did not learn She said have fun Its time has come Hold my heart strings And have yourself a strum No, nevermore This song will we play I burn today eh I burn today And as I drank In old Paris She lay her cards Just to see what she would see Down by the water you'll find your happy days I burn today I burn today Yesterday I will burn For the times I did not learn I ran so fast Into the north No snow on me And so he said thenceforth I let snow fall On frozen yesterday I burn today I burn today And if my head Is hanging down I feel her arms And her legs are all around And we make love Beside the waterway I burn today I burn today Yesterday I will burn For the times I did not learn Behold the rose Of Jericho How many lives I really do not know Though with the rain I know it will return Today I burn Today I burn
