[00:00.00]A Gift Of Roses - Jethro Tull
[00:14.78]Written by：Ian Anderson
[00:29.56]I count the hours you count the days
[00:33.36]Together we count the minutes in this passion play
[00:39.26]Walk dusty miles
[00:41.73]And I ride that train
[00:43.41]On a first class ticket
[00:45.79]Just to be with you again
[00:49.62]Picking up tired feet
[00:52.66]Back from a far horizon
[00:54.55]Cleaned up and brushed down
[00:57.45]Dressed to look the part
[00:59.95]Fresh from God's garden
[01:02.31]I bring a gift of roses
[01:04.83]To stand in sweet spring water
[01:07.18]And press them to your heart
[01:10.28]Like the Kipling cat I walk alone
[01:14.39]Never inviting trouble never casting the stone
[01:20.22]But this badge of honor is of tarnished tin
[01:24.21]Light your guiding beacon to bring this fisher in
[01:30.50]Picking up tired feet
[01:33.45]Back from a far horizon
[01:35.28]Cleaned up and brushed down
[01:38.27]Dressed to look the part
[01:40.82]Fresh from God's garden
[01:43.29]I bring a gift of roses
[01:45.67]To stand in sweet spring water
[01:48.22]And press them to your heart
[02:20.78]I count the hours you count the days
[02:24.66]Together we count the minutes in this passion play
[02:30.55]Walk dusty miles
[02:33.01]And I ride that train
[02:34.81]On a first class ticket
[02:37.30]Just to be with you again
[02:40.87]Picking up tired feet
[02:43.95]Back from a far horizon
[02:45.62]Cleaned up and brushed down
[02:48.68]Dressed to look the part
[02:51.31]Fresh from God's garden
[02:53.54]I bring a gift of roses
[02:55.98]To stand in sweet spring water
[02:58.49]And press them to your heart
[03:00.63]Picking up tired feet
[03:03.62]Back from a far horizon
[03:05.41]Cleaned up and brushed down
[03:08.46]Dressed to look the part
[03:10.93]Fresh from God's garden
[03:13.15]I bring a gift of roses
[03:15.90]To stand in sweet spring water
[03:18.25]And press them to your heart
[06:01.45]This sparkling wine is all but empty
[06:06.23]Too late for trains and no taxis
[06:11.60]I know the feeling
[06:14.18]Seems all too contrived
[06:16.61]There was no master plan but the fact is
[06:21.58]You must stay with me
[06:23.91]And learn the secret language of birds
[06:36.56]A tentative dawn about to be breaking
[06:41.63]On a Rousseau garden with monkeys in hiding
[06:46.63]The truth of the matter yet to be spoken
[06:51.74]In words on which everything everything's riding
[06:56.92]Now stay with me
[06:58.90]And learn the secret language of birds
[07:06.66]Now stay with me
[07:08.38]And learn the secret language of birds
[07:26.52]Circled by swallows
[07:30.80]In a world for the weary
[07:35.58]Courted by warblers
[07:40.41]Wicked and eloquent trilling
[08:02.31]Lie in the stillness
[08:04.54]Window cracked open
[08:07.03]Extended moments hours for the taking
[08:11.96]Careless hair on the pillow
[08:14.74]A bold brush stroke
[08:17.12]Painted verse with a chorus
[08:19.91]The chorus in waiting
[08:22.70]Stay with me
[08:24.46]And learn the secret language of birds
[08:31.95]Yeah stay with me
[08:34.02]And learn the secret language of birds
[08:51.99]Stay with me
[08:54.64]Learn the secret language of birds
[09:01.92]Now stay with me
[09:04.75]And learn the secret language of birds
[09:12.02]Yeah stay with me
[09:15.01]Learn the secret language of birds
