I Burn Today Lyrics
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
With many birds
She said to me
I can understand their words
The land will shake, so run away
I burn today

For the times
I did not learn
Its time has come
Hold my heart strings
And have yourself a strum
No, nevermore
This song will we play
I burn today eh
I burn today
In old Paris
She lay her cards
Just to see what she would see
Down by the water you'll find your happy days
I burn today
I burn today
For the times
I did not learn
Into the north
No snow on me
And so he said thenceforth
I let snow fall
On frozen yesterday
I burn today
I burn today
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
For the times
I did not learn
Of Jericho
How many lives
I really do not know
Though with the rain
I know it will return
Today I burn
Today I burn
Such a beautiful song.

During dry times, the rose of jericho curls up completely and appears to be dead, and blows around in the wind until it comes in contact with water. When the dried bud gets water it lives again. So the Rose of Jericho could be symbolic of the type of...

Or, the song could be about karma and reincarnation and meeting up again and again with your soulmate in different lives only to make the same mistakes again and again.
I don't know which is burning: him or the day. What do you guys think?
