Pibroch (Cap in Hand) - Jethro Tull

There’s a light in the house

In the wood in the valley

There’s a thought in the head

Of the man

Who carries his dreams

Like the coat slung on his shoulder

Bringing you love

In the cap in his hand

And each step he takes

Is one half of a lifetime

No word he would say

Could you understand

So he bundles his regrets

Into a gesture of sorrow

Bringing you love

Cap in hand

Catching breath

As he looks through the dining-room window

Candle-lit table

For two has been laid

Strange slippers by the fire

Strange boots in the hall-way

Put my cap on my head

I turn, and walk away
