Roots to Branches — текст песни (Jethro Tull)





Words get written. words get twisted.

Old meanings move in the drift of time.

Lift the flickering torches. see gentle shadows change

The features of the faces cut in unmoving stone.

Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no ones listening.

Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.



True disciples carrying that message

To colour just a little with their personal touch.

Home-spun fancy weavers and naked half-believers --

Crusades and creeds descend like fiery flakes of snow.

Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no ones listening.

Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.



In wet and windy priest-holes. grand in vast cathedrals.

High on lofty minarets or in the temples of doom.

I hope the old mans got his face on.

Hed better be some quick change artist.

Suffer little children to make their minds up soon.

Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no ones listening.

Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.
