another christmas song

• rock island albumunden pek bir leziz jethro tull $arkisi.
  
  hope everybody's ringing on their own bell, this fine morning.
  hope everyone's connected to that long distance phone.
  old man, he's a mountain.
  old man, he's an island.
  old man he's a-waking says
  " i'm going to call, call all my children home."
  
  hope everybody's dancing to their own drum, this fine morning -
  the beat of distant africa or a polish factory town.
  old man, he's calling for his supper.
  calling for his whisky.
  calling for sons and daughters, yeah -
  calling all his children round.
  
  sharp ears are tuned in to the drones and chanters warming.
  mist blowing round some headland, somewhere in your memory.
  everyone is from somewhere - even if you've never been there.
  so take a minute to remember the part of you
  that might be the old man calling me.
  
  how many wars you fighting out there, this fine winter's morning ?
  maybe there's always time for another christmas song.
  old man is asleep now.
  got appointments to keep now.
  dreaming of his sons and his daughters, and proving -
  proving that the blood is strong.
• en latif jethro tull şarkılarından birisi olmasına karşın pek tanınmaz, bilinmez. artık en bi öz hakiki christmas song'ın ardından bu ismi almasından mıdır kadersizliği her ne ise...
• the jethro tull christmas album'de yeniden yorumlanmi$tir.
• rock island dinlerken "aa bu şarkı güzelmiş bak" dediğim gerçekten pek tatlı bir jethro tull parçası.
