Jethro Tull - 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 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
Well, I saw a bird today I looked aside and walked
away along the Strand
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
Well, I saw a bird today I looked aside and walked
away along the Strand
