The Witches Promise lyrics

Song information

Artist: Jethro Tull
Album: The Very Best Of Jethro Tull

Lyrics

Lend me your ear while I call you a fool
You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood
And later insisted your feelings were true

The witches promise was cunning
Believing he listened while laughing you flew

Leaves falling, red, yellow, brown, all look the same
And the love you had found lay outside in the rain
Washed clean by the water but nursing its pain
The witches promise was cunning
And you're looking elsewhere for your own selfish gain

Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be
Well, you're wasting your time, they not stupid like he is
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see
You won't find it easy now, it's only fair
He was willing to give to you, you didn't care
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share
The witches promise is turning so don't you wait up for him
He's going to be late
