JETHRO TULL - For A Thousand Mothers lyrics

rate me

Did you hear mother --

saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right.

Did you hear father?

Calling my name into the night.

Saying I'll never be what I am now.

Telling me I'll never find what I've already found.

It was they who were wrong,

and for them here's a song.

Did you hear baby --

come back and tell you the things he's seen.

Did it surprise you

to be picked up at eight in a limousine?

Doing the things he's accustomed to do.

Which at one time it seemed like a dream

now it's true.

And unknowing

you made it all happen this way.

Did you hear mother --

saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right.

Did you hear father?

Calling my name into the night.

Saying I'll never be what I am now.

Telling me I'll never find what I've already found.

It was they who were wrong

and for them here's a song.
