Beltane (Steven Wilson Stereo Remix) - Jethro Tull
Written by：Ian Anderson
Have you ever stood in the
April wood and called the new year in
While the phantoms of three
Thousand years fly as the dead leaves spin
There's a snap in the grass behind your feet
And a tap upon your shoulder
And the thin wind crawls along your neck
It's just the old gods getting older
And the Kestral drops like a fall of shot
And the red cloud hanging high
Come a Beltane
Come a Beltane
Have you ever loved a lover of the old elastic truth
And doted on the daughter in the ministry of youth
Thrust your head between the breasts of the fertile innocent
And taken up the 'cause of love for the sake of argument
Or while the kisses drop like a fall of
Shot from soft lips in the rain
Come a Beltane
Happy old new year to you and yours
The sun's up for one more day to be sure
Play it out gladly for your card's marked again
Have you walked around your parks and
Towns so knife edged orderly
While the fires are burned on the hills
Upturned in far off wild country
And felt the chill on your
Window sill as the green man comes around
With his walking cane of sweet hazel brings it crashing down
Sends your knuckles white as the thin stick bites
Well it's just your groaning pains
Come a Beltane come a Beltane
Come a Beltane come a Beltane
Come a Beltane come a Beltane
Come a Beltane come a Beltane
Come a Beltane come a Beltane
Come a Beltane come a Beltane
