Phoenix
lyrics and music by Don Barks
© Aural Sects, 1995. All rights reserved. Swan, fly like an eagle
Gentle, fire white dove.
Your life a mere reflection
As though you never lived enough.
You were the sun-bird in the morning
Now you're the fire-bird at noon.Phoenix, phoenix,
To live your life you have to give your life
Too soon. You said, ``we are forever"
With wings drawn close to warm my heart.
And though our paths may separate
We'll never be apart.
We flew as one 500 years,
But now I fly alone. Phoenix, phoenix,
To live your life you have to give your life
Too soon.
I used to hear your cry at sundown,
Just an echo on this empty plane.
You'd call to me with silence,
To satisfy your pain.
I watched the fire wash you
To raise you in its arms. Phoenix, phoenix,
To live your life you have to give your life (c) Aural Sects, 1995. All rights reserved. |
