BURNING IN THE NIGHT
(A CANÇãO DE JANEIRO)

Music and Lyrics by Frederick George Moore

Roused from a deep and wintry dream
Two bells before the morning light
The smell of tar and flaming heat
The city BURNING IN THE NIGHT

I threw on some slippers as I stumbled
Outside
'cause I knew I would never regain my senses
'Til I proved that she was still
Well and alive

I wound my way down to her street
Her place was charred but it survived
I saw her swaddled in her sheets
Her man was waiting by her side.

One sightless backward glance
At her gifted beauty
A dark wind is blowing
The Universe is burning
The panther turns and slips away

I lay here haunted in my room
The years roll on, but I survive
Sometimes I glimpse her in the streets
Could I have been there by her side?
The January Song
