Heavy Horses (2003 Remastered Version) - Jethro Tull[00:00:00]

Composer：Ian Anderson[00:00:35]

Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust[00:01:10]

An October's day towards evening[00:01:15]

Sweat-embossed veins standing proud to the plough[00:01:19]

Salt on a deep chest seasoning[00:01:25]

Last of the line at an honest day's toil[00:01:31]

Turning the deep sod under[00:01:36]

Flint at the fetlock chasing the bone[00:01:41]

Flies at the nostrils plunder[00:01:46]

The Suffolk the Clydesdale the Percheron vie[00:01:51]

With the shire on his feathers floating[00:01:56]

Hauling soft timber into the dusk[00:02:01]

To bed on a warm straw coating[00:02:06]

Heavy horses move the land under me[00:02:12]

Behind the plough gliding slipping and sliding free[00:02:18]

And now you're down to the few and there's no work to do[00:02:24]

The tractor is on its way[00:02:28]

Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed[00:02:32]

To keep the old line going[00:02:37]

And we'll stand you abreast at the back of the wood[00:02:41]

Behind the young trees growing[00:02:47]

To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth[00:02:53]

Your eighteen hands at the shoulder[00:02:58]

And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry[00:03:02]

And the nights are seen to draw colder[00:03:08]

They'll beg for your strength your gentle power[00:03:13]

Your noble grace and your bearing[00:03:19]

And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls[00:03:23]

In the wake of the deep plough sharing[00:03:28]

Heavy horses move the land under me[00:03:35]

Behind the plough gliding slipping and sliding free[00:03:40]

And now you're down to the few and there's no work to do[00:03:47]

The tractor is on its way[00:03:50]

Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill[00:04:16]

Up into the cold wind facing[00:04:22]

In stiff battle harness chained to the world[00:04:27]

Against the low sun racing[00:04:33]

Bring me a wheel of oaken wood[00:04:38]

A rein of polished leather[00:04:44]

A heavy horse and a tumbling sky[00:04:49]

Brewing heavy weather[00:04:55]

Bring a song for the evening[00:05:00]

Clean brass to flash the dawn[00:05:04]

Across these acres glistening[00:05:08]

Like dew on a carpet lawn[00:05:11]

In these dark towns folk lie sleeping[00:05:17]

As the heavy horses thunder by[00:05:21]

To wake the dying city[00:05:25]

With the living horseman's cry[00:05:28]

At once the old hands quicken[00:06:27]

Bring pick and wisp and curry comb[00:06:31]

Thrill to the sound of all the heavy horses coming home[00:06:36]

Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust[00:06:47]

An October's day towards evening[00:06:52]

Sweat-embossed veins standing proud to the plough[00:06:57]

Salt on a deep chest seasoning[00:07:02]

Bring me a wheel of oaken wood[00:07:08]

A rein of polished leather[00:07:13]

A heavy horse and a tumbling sky[00:07:18]

Brewing heavy weather[00:07:24]

Heavy horses move the land under me[00:07:29]

Behind the plough gliding slipping and sliding free[00:07:35]

And now you're down to the few and there's no work to do[00:07:41]

The tractor is on its way[00:07:45]

Oh heavy horses move the land under me[00:07:57]

Behind the plough gliding slipping and sliding free[00:08:04]

And now you're down to the few and there's no work to do[00:08:10]

The tractor is on its way[00:08:14]

Oh heavy horses move the land under me[00:08:17]

Behind the plough gliding slipping and sliding free[00:08:24]

And now you're down to the few and there's no work to do[00:08:30]

The tractor is on its way[00:08:34]

Oh heavy horses move the land under me[00:08:38]

Behind the plough gliding slipping and sliding free[00:08:44]
