Old Ghosts — текст песни (Jethro Tull)

Hair stands high on the cats back like

A ridge of threatening hills.

Sheepdogs howl, make tracks and growl ---

Their tails hanging low.

And young children falter in their games

At the altar of lifes hide-and-seek

Between tall pillars, where sunday-night killers

In grey raincoats peek.

Misty colours unfold a backcloth cold ---

Fine tapestry of silk

I draw around me like a cloak

And soundless glide a-drifting

On eddies whirled in beech leaves furled ---

Brown and gold they fly

In the warm mesh of sunlight

Sifting now from a cloudless sky.



Ill be coming again like an old dog in pain

Blown through the eye of the hurricane

Down to the stones where old ghosts play.
