(The Jethro Tull Christmas Album)
Old man he's a mountain
Old man he's an island
Old man he's a-waking says
"I'm going to call, call all my children home"
The beat of distant Africa or a Polish factory town
Old man he's calling for his supper
Is calling for his whisky
Calling for his sons and daughters, yeah
Calling, calling all his children round
Sharp ears are tuned in to the drones and chanters warming
Mist blowing round some headland, somewhere in your memory
Everyone is from somewhere
Even if you've never been there
So take a minute to remember the part of you
That might be the old man calling me
How many wars you fighting out there this winter's morning?
Maybe there's always time for another christmas song
Old man is asleep now
Got appointments to keep now
Dreaming of his sons and daughters, and proving
Proving that the blood is strong

Of the locomotive breath

A time for everything
Ages passed I knew at last
My life had never been

Did you go to montreal
or hide behind the package store
you're hanging out with your old friends
with them they knew you'd see the end

In the morning -- gonna get my things together.
Packing up and I'm leaving this place.
I don't believe you'll cry, there'll be a smile upon your fac...
I'll take you down to that bright city mile
There to powder your sweet face and paint on a smile
That will show all of the pleasures and none of the p...
Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
I may make you feel but i can't make you think.
So you ride yourselves over the fields and
You make all you...
Let me bring you songs from the wood:
To make you feel much better than you could know.
Dust you down from tip to toe.
Show you how the garden grows.

Gonna lose my way tomorrow,
Gonna give away my car,
I'd take you along with me,
But you would not go so far,
Don't see what I do not want to see,
