The Phoenix

The sun was red and the fires were roarin' Stars aligned and our webs were spun I could've sworn I heard my spirit soarin' Guess, I'm always chasin' the sun Hopin' we will soon be one 'Till it turns around to me and I try to run On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated The fires froze and the sea was hushed And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded And the war will rage in my guts Till the devil bites the dust I never saw him losin' a race, but I think he must The great storm raged and the power kept growin' Dragons rose from our land below And even now I wonder where I'm goin' Ever since a long time ago I've tried to let my feelings show I'd like to think I'm insincere, but I'll never know --- The Phoenix - Marianne Faithfull
