Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Ian Anderson
[01:07] The Poet and the Painter casting shadows on the water
[01:13] As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea
[01:19] The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other
[01:24] As the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed
[01:30] The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling
[01:36] But the master of the house is far away
[01:41] The horses stamping, their warm breath clouding
[01:47] In the sharp and frosty morning of the day
[01:52] And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword
[01:59] And the youngest of the family is moving with authority
[02:05] Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside
