Before, oh long before the flood
G#m B C# F#
The great cretaceous animal
G#m B C# B
she stared at this same moon I see
Bm
And then was covered by the rain
F# G#m B C# F#
she crawled on land and spread her wings
G#m B C# F#
now she sings to me in mourning
G#m B C# B
she stares at this same sun I see
Bm
Through the bars of her cage in spring
