Fortunetelling, my fortunetelling
looking into the future
Searching, my searching
My searching for love

Signs along my way, those portentous signs:
Falling stars, white-skied nights
Tethered animals, blazing bushes
Hearts turned to ash, poisoned fruit
Signs along my way, those ominous signs
Rime-covered flowers, fears amid darkness
Wormwood vapors and clouds heavenward flight
Vibrating silences and cast dice

Fortunetelling, my fortunetelling
looking into the future
Searching, my searching
My searching for love

Signs along my way, those portentous signs:
Balsamic springs, relaxed palms
Green twigs, melodious birds
Hearts possessed, horses agallop
Signs along my way, those portentous signs:
Auroras arising, lips under fingers
Lovage liquors and drowsy purring
Phosphorescent words and finally, we ourselves

[2x:]
Fortunetelling, my fortunetelling
looking into the future
Searching, my searching
My searching for love
