'See the dark lady smile'

Lyrics from Burn It Blue*

by Caetano Veloso & Lila Dawn

Woman so weary 

Spread your unbroken wings

Fly free as the swallow sings 

Come to the fireworks 

See the dark lady smile

She burns…

And the night sky

 blooms with fire

And the burning bed floats higher

And she’s free to fly…

*If you'd like to hear the full song performed,

here's a clip from the Academy Awards performance.
