Lyrics Jethro Tull – This Free Will
Text:
She peeled from a stretch black snake
which slipped up to the hotel door.
Darting looks from piercing eyes —
The stir of memory and then no more.
She can almost remember my name.
It’s been a long time coming, babe —
Long time loose amongst foreign hills —
Shaking my faith in this free will.
Years ago in a coastal town,
mosquitoes buzzed in her hair.
Schooldress torn and bare feet brown —
Then the rains came and she wasn’t there.
You’re closing your doors on me
when you had almost remembered my name.
It’s been a long time coming, babe —
Long time loose amongst foreign hills —
Shaking my faith in this free will.
Sharp points in an ink black sky —
Faint words collide, then are lost.
I’ll follow you beneath this dome —
Win you back at any cost.
I know we were children then,
but you can almost remember my name.
It’s been a long time coming, babe —
Long time loose amongst foreign hills —
Well, let’s be children still —
Don’t shake my faith in this free will.
Don’t shake my faith in this free will.
