I Burn Today

I knew a girl

Beside the wife

But at 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



Yes today, i will burn

For the times i did not learn



She said our fun

Its time has come

Hold my heart strings

And have yourself a strum

No never more

This song will we play

I burn today, 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 you happy days

I burn today, i burn today



Yes today, i will burn

For the times i did not learn



I ran so fast

Into the north

No snow on me

And so you send them forth

I let snow fall

Unfrozen yesterday

I burn today, I burn today



And if my hair

Is hanging down

I feel out arms and legs

Are all around

And we make love

Beside the waterway

I burn today, i burn today



Yes today, i will burn

For the times i did not learn



Behold the rose

Of jarapo

How many lives

I really do not know

Go with the rain

I know it will return

Today i burn, today i burn
