Reasons For Waiting Lyrics

Cover art for Reasons For Waiting lyrics by Jethro Tull

This one keps meaning a lot to me, just as it did to an idealistic teenager in the 70's to a near 50er now. The merging of Ian's flute with the orchestral strings works well without beint overly sentimental. The notion that honesty and faith in others and one'se self: "You're not seen, you're not heard, but I'll stand by my word, came a thousand miles..." still resonates for me as I think of the people truly loved in my life. Nice rythym guitar throughout.
