lyrics

The cock crows at dawn
but one cock alone doesn't summon the sun

Some still maintain
that Orféu sings the sun up each day

Yes, in the throes
of Carnaval's close, it seems to be true

But one rooster's crow
is a pale echo

Still, sad and beautiful

~

Dream wine- and moonlight-infused
Orféu conjures his momma, the muse

One cock alone,
crying out in the night, bewitching the stones

Still sad and beautiful

~

Ya gotta pay the piper
If ya wanna call the tune

Even that cock was an egg
Laid last June

Even if he had
the strength of ten

Still, sad and beautiful

~

Fountains are weeping
As he goes on seeking the Fountain of Youth

And every other Muse
Echoes
