The Phoenix Lyrics

Judee Sill The Phoenix

The sun was red, and the fires were roarin',
Stars aligned and the webs were spun.
I coulda sworn I heard my spirit soarin'
Guess I'm always chasin' the sun,
Hopin' we will soon be one
Until it turns around to me
Then 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 wate 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 the land below
And even now I wonder where I'm goin'
Ever since a long time ago,
I've tried to let my feelins show
I'd like to think I'm being sincere,
But I'll never know
