For a Thousand Mothers — текст песни (Jethro Tull)

Did you hear mother --

Saying Im wrong but I know Im right.

Did you hear father?

Calling my name into the night.

Saying Ill never be what I am now.

Telling me Ill never find what Ive already found.

It was they who were wrong,

And for them heres a song.

Did you hear baby --

Come back and tell you the things hes seen.

Did it surprise you

To be picked up at eight in a limousine?

Doing the things hes accustomed to do.

Which at one time it seemed like a dream

Now its true.

And unknowing

You made it all happen this way.



Did you hear mother --

Saying Im wrong but I know Im right.

Did you hear father?

Calling my name into the night.

Saying Ill never be what I am now.

Telling me Ill never find what Ive already found.

It was they who were wrong

And for them heres a song.
