Jethro Tull – Witch's Promise 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 it's 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.

    A timeless ballad with a long lost format from the middle ages. for me it has a hypnotizing effect especially when watching Ian's performance. The story is the intoxicating feelings of perhaps forbidden love early in life. It's hard to distinguish true feelings from primal lust and never stays in one place. Along life's journey you come to terms with lost love while life moves in its own special way. The feelings once shared lay dormant within waiting to be ignited again
