[00:00:00] A Gift Of Roses - Jethro Tull

[00:00:14] Written by：Ian Anderson

[00:00:29] I count the hours you count the days

[00:00:33] Together we count the minutes in this passion play

[00:00:39] Walk dusty miles

[00:00:41] And I ride that train

[00:00:43] On a first class ticket

[00:00:45] Just to be with you again

[00:00:49] Picking up tired feet

[00:00:52] Back from a far horizon

[00:00:54] Cleaned up and brushed down

[00:00:57] Dressed to look the part

[00:00:59] Fresh from God's garden

[00:01:02] I bring a gift of roses

[00:01:04] To stand in sweet spring water

[00:01:07] And press them to your heart

[00:01:10] Like the Kipling cat I walk alone

[00:01:14] Never inviting trouble never casting the stone

[00:01:20] But this badge of honor is of tarnished tin

[00:01:24] Light your guiding beacon to bring this fisher in

[00:01:30] Picking up tired feet

[00:01:33] Back from a far horizon

[00:01:35] Cleaned up and brushed down

[00:01:38] Dressed to look the part

[00:01:40] Fresh from God's garden

[00:01:43] I bring a gift of roses

[00:01:45] To stand in sweet spring water

[00:01:48] And press them to your heart

[00:02:20] I count the hours you count the days

[00:02:24] Together we count the minutes in this passion play

[00:02:30] Walk dusty miles

[00:02:33] And I ride that train

[00:02:34] On a first class ticket

[00:02:37] Just to be with you again

[00:02:40] Picking up tired feet

[00:02:43] Back from a far horizon

[00:02:45] Cleaned up and brushed down

[00:02:48] Dressed to look the part

[00:02:51] Fresh from God's garden

[00:02:53] I bring a gift of roses

[00:02:55] To stand in sweet spring water

[00:02:58] And press them to your heart

[00:03:00] Picking up tired feet

[00:03:03] Back from a far horizon

[00:03:05] Cleaned up and brushed down

[00:03:08] Dressed to look the part

[00:03:10] Fresh from God's garden

[00:03:13] I bring a gift of roses

[00:03:15] To stand in sweet spring water

[00:03:18] And press them to your heart

[00:06:01] This sparkling wine is all but empty

[00:06:06] Too late for trains and no taxis

[00:06:11] I know the feeling

[00:06:14] Seems all too contrived

[00:06:16] There was no master plan but the fact is

[00:06:21] You must stay with me

[00:06:23] And learn the secret language of birds

[00:06:36] A tentative dawn about to be breaking

[00:06:41] On a Rousseau garden with monkeys in hiding

[00:06:46] The truth of the matter yet to be spoken

[00:06:51] In words on which everything everything's riding

[00:06:56] Now stay with me

[00:06:58] And learn the secret language of birds

[00:07:06] Now stay with me

[00:07:08] And learn the secret language of birds

[00:07:26] Circled by swallows

[00:07:30] In a world for the weary

[00:07:35] Courted by warblers

[00:07:40] Wicked and eloquent trilling

[00:08:02] Lie in the stillness

[00:08:04] Window cracked open

[00:08:07] Extended moments hours for the taking

[00:08:11] Careless hair on the pillow

[00:08:14] A bold brush stroke

[00:08:17] Painted verse with a chorus

[00:08:19] The chorus in waiting

[00:08:22] Stay with me

[00:08:24] And learn the secret language of birds

[00:08:31] Yeah stay with me

[00:08:34] And learn the secret language of birds

[00:08:51] Stay with me

[00:08:54] Learn the secret language of birds

[00:09:01] Now stay with me

[00:09:04] And learn the secret language of birds

[00:09:12] Yeah stay with me

[00:09:15] Learn the secret language of birds
