Jethro Tull - Bends Like a Willow текст песни

Shes catching the wind: the gentlest of breezes.

Its a sensitive passage shes sailing -

Through stormy straits, navigates my unfathomable failings.

She rises before me, reading me clearly.

Empty nest left pressed in the pillow.

She can shift, she can sway

And bend like a willow.

Im swept in the riptide, caught in a fish trap.

Gift-wrapped in my soft self centre.

Summer sun leaves me as one who can only taste winter.

Shes a good, a good god-send: she can bend like a willow.

With a fully armed angel to cover me quickly.

Im cool under enemy fire.

If I fall, she can crawl right under the wire.

When Im caustic and cold, she might dare to be bold -

Ease me round to her warm way of thinking:

Fill me up from the cup of love that shes drinking.

And I find, given time. I can bend like a willow.

She bends like a willow.
