Cup of Wonder(2003 Remaster) - Jethro Tull

作词：Ian Anderson

作曲：佚名

May I make my fond excuses

For the lateness of the hour

But we accept your invitation

And we bring you beltane's flower

For the may day is the great day

Sung along the old straight track

And those who ancient lines did lay

Will heed the song that calls them back

Pass the word pass the lady

Pass the plate to all who hunger

Pass the wit of ancient wisdom

Pass the cup of crimson wonder

Pass the cup of crimson wonder

Ask the green man where he comes from

Ask the cup that fills with red

Ask the old gray standing stones

That show the sun it's way to bed

Question all as to their ways

And learn the secrets that they hold

Walk the lines of nature's palm

Crossed with silver and with gold

Pass the word and pass the lady

Pass the plate to all who hunger

Pass the wit of ancient wisdom

Pass the cup of crimson wonder

Pass the cup of crimson wonder

Join in black december's sadness

Lie in august's welcome corn

Stir the cup that's ever filling

The well apple blood of all that's born

But the may day is the great day

Sung along the old straight track

And those who ancient lines did lay

Will heed this song that calls them back

Pass the word pass the lady

Pass the plate to all who hunger

Pass the wit of ancient wisdom

Pass the cup of crimson wonder

Pass the cup of crimson wonder
