For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me - Jethro Tull

Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds

Blue reflections mute and dim

Beckon tearful child of wonder

To repentance of the sin

And the blind and lusty lovers

Of the great eternal lie

Go on believing nothing

Since something has to die

And the ape’s curiosity

Money power wins

And the yellow soft mountains

Move under him

I’m with you L.E.M

Though it’s a shame that it had to be you

The mother ship

Is just a blip from your trip made for two

I’m with you boys

So please employ just a little extra care

It’s on my mind

I’m left behind when I should have been there

Walking with you

And the limp face hungry viewers

Fight to fasten with their eyes

Like the man hung from the trapeze

Whose fall will satisfy

And congratulate each other

On their rare and wondrous deed

That their begrudged money bought

To sow the monkey’s seed

And the yellow soft mountains

They grow very still

Witness as intrusion

The humanoid thrill

I’m with you L.E.M

Though it’s a shame that it had to be you

The mother ship

Is just a blip from your trip made for two

I’m with you boys

So please employ just a little extra care

It’s on my mind

I’m left behind when I should have been there

Walking with you

With you

With you
