Текст песни Bends Like a Willow - Jethro Tull

She′s catching the wind: the gentlest of breezes.
It's a sensitive passage she′s sailing -
Through stormy straits, navigates my unfathomable failings.

She rises before me, reading me clearly.
Empty nest left pressed in the pillow.
She can shift, she can sway
And bend like a willow.

I'm swept in the riptide, caught in a fish trap.
Gift-wrapped in my soft self centre.
Summer sun leaves me as one who can only taste winter.
She's a good, a good God-send: she can bend like a willow.

With a fully armed angel to cover me quickly.
I′m cool under enemy fire.
If I fall, she can crawl right under the wire.

When I′m caustic and cold, she might dare to be bold -
Ease me round to her warm way of thinking:
Fill me up from the cup of love that she's drinking.
And I find, given time. I can bend like a willow.
She bends like a willow.
