To Cry You A Song - Jethro Tull
Flying so high
trying to remember
how many cigarettes
did I bring along.
When I get down
I’ll jump in a taxicab
riding through London town
to cry you a song.
It’s been a long time
Still shaking my wings
Well, I’m a black bird
I’ve got changes to ring
Closing my dream
inside this paper bag.
Thought I saw angels
but I could’ve been wrong.
Searching my caves
and found what they’ve looking for.
Waving me through
to cry you a song.
It’s been a long time
Still shaking my wings
Well, I’m a black bird
I’ve got changes to ring
Lights in the streets
peeping through curtains drawn.
Rattling my safety chain
and taking too long.
The smile in your eyes
was never so sweet before.
I came down from the skies
to cry you a song.
We recommend: Anthem
The blue horizon's bend
Earth and sky
Appear to meet and end
But it's merely an illusion
Like your heart and mine
There is no sweet conclusion
I can see
No matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me
But I can dream
Can't I
Can't I pretend
That I'm locked in the bend
Of your embrace
For dreams
Are just like wine,
And I am drunk
With mine
(*) I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
