A Gift Of Roses - Jethro Tull[00:00:00]
Written by:Ian Anderson[00:00:14]
I count the hours you count the days[00:00:29]
Together we count the minutes in this passion play[00:00:33]
Walk dusty miles[00:00:39]
And I ride that train[00:00:41]
On a first class ticket[00:00:43]
Just to be with you again[00:00:45]
Picking up tired feet[00:00:49]
Back from a far horizon[00:00:52]
Cleaned up and brushed down[00:00:54]
Dressed to look the part[00:00:57]
Fresh from God's garden[00:00:59]
I bring a gift of roses[00:01:02]
To stand in sweet spring water[00:01:04]
And press them to your heart[00:01:07]
Like the Kipling cat I walk alone[00:01:10]
Never inviting trouble never casting the stone[00:01:14]
But this badge of honor is of tarnished tin[00:01:20]
Light your guiding beacon to bring this fisher in[00:01:24]
Picking up tired feet[00:01:30]
Back from a far horizon[00:01:33]
Cleaned up and brushed down[00:01:35]
Dressed to look the part[00:01:38]
Fresh from God's garden[00:01:40]
I bring a gift of roses[00:01:43]
To stand in sweet spring water[00:01:45]
And press them to your heart[00:01:48]
I count the hours you count the days[00:02:20]
Together we count the minutes in this passion play[00:02:24]
Walk dusty miles[00:02:30]
And I ride that train[00:02:33]
On a first class ticket[00:02:34]
Just to be with you again[00:02:37]
Picking up tired feet[00:02:40]
Back from a far horizon[00:02:43]
Cleaned up and brushed down[00:02:45]
Dressed to look the part[00:02:48]
Fresh from God's garden[00:02:51]
I bring a gift of roses[00:02:53]
To stand in sweet spring water[00:02:55]
And press them to your heart[00:02:58]
Picking up tired feet[00:03:00]
Back from a far horizon[00:03:03]
Cleaned up and brushed down[00:03:05]
Dressed to look the part[00:03:08]
Fresh from God's garden[00:03:10]
I bring a gift of roses[00:03:13]
To stand in sweet spring water[00:03:15]
And press them to your heart[00:03:18]
This sparkling wine is all but empty[00:06:01]
Too late for trains and no taxis[00:06:06]
I know the feeling[00:06:11]
Seems all too contrived[00:06:14]
There was no master plan but the fact is[00:06:16]
You must stay with me[00:06:21]
And learn the secret language of birds[00:06:23]
A tentative dawn about to be breaking[00:06:36]
On a Rousseau garden with monkeys in hiding[00:06:41]
The truth of the matter yet to be spoken[00:06:46]
In words on which everything everything's riding[00:06:51]
Now stay with me[00:06:56]
And learn the secret language of birds[00:06:58]
Now stay with me[00:07:06]
And learn the secret language of birds[00:07:08]
Circled by swallows[00:07:26]
In a world for the weary[00:07:30]
Courted by warblers[00:07:35]
Wicked and eloquent trilling[00:07:40]
Lie in the stillness[00:08:02]
Window cracked open[00:08:04]
Extended moments hours for the taking[00:08:07]
Careless hair on the pillow[00:08:11]
A bold brush stroke[00:08:14]
Painted verse with a chorus[00:08:17]
The chorus in waiting[00:08:19]
Stay with me[00:08:22]
And learn the secret language of birds[00:08:24]
Yeah stay with me[00:08:31]
And learn the secret language of birds[00:08:34]
Stay with me[00:08:51]
Learn the secret language of birds[00:08:54]
Now stay with me[00:09:01]
And learn the secret language of birds[00:09:04]
Yeah stay with me[00:09:12]
Learn the secret language of birds[00:09:15]
