Jethro Tull

Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains
remind me of Jack-A-Lynn.
Lush hotels and pretty girls
wont cheer the misty mood Im in.
Silly, sad - Ive never had to write this before
oh, Jack-A-Lynn.
Funny how long nights allow
thoughts of Jack-A-Lynn.
When phantoms tread around my bed
to offer restless dreams they bring.
And its 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 to Jack-A-Lynn.
Coal-black cats in policemans hats
nosing where the mice have been.
And the long miaows beginning now
and Im far, far from home
and Jack-A-Lynn.
[ Jack-A-Lynn Lyrics ]
