I Burn Today

I knew a girl with sad blue eyes
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 nevermore 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 will find your happys days
I burn today
I burn today

Yes today I will burn
For the times I did not learn

I ran so fast in to the North
No snow on me then so he said thence forth
I let snow fall on a frozen yesterday
I burn today I burn today

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

Yes today I will burn
For the times I did not learn

Behold the rose of Jericho
How many lives I really do no know
Though with the rain I know it will return
Today I burn
Today I burn
