The Poet and the Painter - 歌词大全

作曲 : Ian Anderson [01:07] The Poet and the Painter casting shadows on the water [01:13] As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea [01:19] The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other [01:24] As the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed [01:30] The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling [01:36] But the master of the house is far away [01:41] The horses stamping, their warm breath clouding [01:47] In the sharp and frosty morning of the day [01:52] And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword [01:59] And the youngest of the family is moving with authority [02:05] Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside
