Requiem (2002 Remaster) - Jethro Tull
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
Well I saw a bird today
I looked aside and walked
Away along the Strand
