Written & performed by Lindsey Mills Recorded & mixed by Rich Switzer Drum performance by Marcos Marchesani Cover artwork by Shanna Morgaine ~~~ 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
