[length: 03:43]
[00:03.20]Well, I saw a bird today — flying from a bush and the
[00:16.68]Wind blew it away.
[00:21.26]And the black-eyed mother sun scorched the butterfly
[00:33.28]At play — velvet veined.
[00:37.14]I saw it burn.
[00:44.58]With a wintry storm-blown sigh, a silver cloud blew
[00:57.02]Right on by.
[01:02.05]And, taking in the morning, I sang — O Requiem.
[01:16.66]Well, my lady told me, “Stay.”
[01:25.51]I looked aside and walked away along the Strand.
[01:38.45]But I didn’t say a word, as the train time-table blurred
[01:50.35]Close behind the taxi stand.
[01:58.43]Saw her face in the tear-drop black cab window.
[02:07.28]Fading in the traffic; watched her go.
[02:17.14]And taking in the morning, heard myself singing —
[02:26.00]O Requiem.
[02:30.63]Here I go again.
[02:33.04]It’s the same old story.
[03:14.38]Well, I saw a bird today — I looked aside and walked
[03:22.95]Away along the Strand.
