Jethro Tull - This Free Will Lyrics
She peeled from a stretch black snake
which slipped up to the hotel door.
Darting looks from piercing eyes --
The stir of memory and then no more.
Well, you know how I have to believe --
It's been a long time coming, babe --
Long time loose amongst foreign hills --
Shaking my faith in this free will.
Years ago in a coastal town,
mosquitoes buzzed in her hair.
Schooldress torn and bare feet brown --
Then the rains came and she wasn't there.
You're closing your doors on me
It's been a long time coming, babe --
Long time loose amongst foreign hills --
Shaking my faith in this free will.
Sharp points in an ink black sky --
Faint words collide, then are lost.
I'll follow you beneath this dome --
Win you back at any cost.
I know we were children then,
but you can almost remember my name.
It's been a long time coming, babe --
Long time loose amongst foreign hills --
Well, let's be children still --
Don't shake my faith in this free will.
Don't shake my faith in this free will.

Ian is the soul of Jethro Tull❤
One of the best albums tull ever made.. Harrys bar !! great !!!
THE MAN WHO MAKES PEOPLE FEEL BETTER HOW LONG SENTENCE IS THAT
THE MAN WHO MAKES PEPOPLE FEEL BETTER HOW LONG IS THIS THAT
"My zero to Tull´s power of ten equals nothin at all":0)
if ian's voice had not soured they could have knocked this out of the park. if you are a singer, don't smoke.
PERFECT aLBUM
pollaris18 ,Oh absolutely! Not only great songs, but outstanding music and musicianship too. Astoundingly good! At least unto mine ears anyway!

i love this song mother fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!
One thing is for sure, Ian makes one think.
Thomas Sutherland , Oh yes, the great ones in rock music certainly do that. If they did not do this with their philosophy and observations on life they would not be as musically inspired either I suspect.
Terrific song from a terrific album. And the muse certainly does not leave Ian Anderson alone!

Its been a long time coming babe...
Nothing like this out there!!!
Malmsteen's got nothing on Martin Barre. He doesn't over do those awesome neo classical riffs like yngwie........
It's been a long time coming, babe --

I'll follow you beneath this dome --
Win you back at any cost.

My favorite Tull song from the 90's. Great powerful stuff.
@jstarang1
yes indeed a funny coincidence, and they're my two favorite bands! :)
tull is my fav band rush is in the top 5 between the wheels is my fav rush song...
rush and tull both have a free will and a fly by night! lol
Nice one. Still, I prefer Free Will by Rush (FW is one of Rush's strongest tracks, this one is not ine of Tull's IMO)
I've been a big fan of Jethro Tull for nearly 40 years. My favourite two tracks on RTB are this one and Beside Myself.
