Jethro Tull - Jack-a-lynn Lyrics
Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trainsRemind me of jack-a-lynn.Lush hotels and pretty girlsWont cheer the misty mood Im in.Silly, sad --- Ive never had to write this before ---Oh, jack-a-lynn.Funny how long nights allowThoughts of jack-a-lynn.When phantoms tread around my bedTo offer restless dreams they bring.And its just the time and place to findA sad song to playFor jack-a-lynn.Magpies that shriek, old boots that leakCall me to jack-a-lynn.Coal-black cats in policemans hatsNosing where the mice have been.And the long miaows beginning nowAnd Im far, far from home ---And jack-a-lynn.
