jethro tull - the poet and the painter كلمات الأغنية

the poet and the painter
casting shadows on the water
as the sun plays on the infantry
returning from the sea
the do-er and the thinker
no allowance for the other
as the failing light illuminates
the mercenary’s creed
the home fire burning
the kettle almost boiling
but the master of the house
is far away
the horses stamping
their warm breath clouding
in the sharp and frosty morning
of the day
and the poet lifts his pen
while the soldier sheaths his sword

and the youngest of the family
is moving with authority
building castles by the sea
he dares the tardy tide
to wash them all aside, oh

[instrumental]

the cattle quietly grazing
at the gr-ss down by the river
where the swelling mountain water
moves onward to the sea
the builder of the castles
renews the age-old purpose
and contemplates the milking girl
whose offer is his need
the young men of the household
have all gone into service
and are not to be expected
for a year
the innocent young master
thoughts moving ever faster
has formed the plan
to change the man he seems
and the poet sheaths his pen
while the soldier lifts his sword

and the oldest of the family
is moving with authority
coming from across the sea
he challenges the son
who puts him to the run
