"So tell me, tell me, tell me; Why it makes you cry; It was your first time
in the sun; Once burned, twice shy; It's come around again; Did it
really hurt so bad; You'd let it pass you by?” (Noel Dinn/Figgy Duff)

Good find.

More from Ahmed Zu-Bolton:

"I don't want to mount Pegasus,
I want to mount the air
which he flies through."
