Jethro Tull Witches Promise song 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 witch's promise was coming

Believing he listened while laughing you flew

Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all are the same

And the love you have found lay outside in the rain

Washed clean by the water but nursing its pain

The witch's promise was coming

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're 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 witch's promise is turning

So don't you wait up for him

He's going to be late
