Ian Anderson - Jack-A-Lynn lyrics

Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains Remind me of Jack-A-Lynn Lush hotels and pretty girls Won't cheer the misty mood I'm in Silly, sad, I've never had to write this before Oh, Jack-A-Lynn Funny how long nights allow Thoughts of Jack-A-Lynn When phantoms tread around my bed To offer restless dreams they bring And it's just the time and place to find A sad song to play For Jack-A-Lynn Magpies that shriek, old boots that leak Call me to Jack-A-Lynn Coal black cats in policeman's hats Nosing where the mice have been And the long meow's beginning now And I'm far, far from home And Jack-A-Lynn
