Jack-A-Lynn — текст песни (Jethro Tull)

Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains
Remind me of Jack-A-Lynn.
Lush hotels and pretty girls
Won`t share the misty mood I`m in.
Silly, sad, I`ve never had
To write this before.
Oh, Jack-A-Lynn.

Funny how long nights alone
And thoughts of Jack-A-Lynn.
When phantoms tread around my bed
To offer restless dreams they bring.

And it`s just the time and place to find
A sad song to play
For Jack-A-Lynn.

Magpies that shriek, old boots that leak
Call me the Jack-A-Lynn.
Cold black cats in policeman`s hats
Nosing where the mice have been.

And the lonely hours, forgiving now,
And I`m far, far from home.
A Jack-A-Lynn.
Jack-Jack-A-Lynn.
