Witch’s Promise Songtext
von Jethro Tull

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 lateLend me your ear while I call you a fool
