Play Minstrel Play - With Ian Anderson

Play Minstrel Play - With Ian Anderson Lyrics

Underneath the harvest moon
Where the ancient shadows will play and hide
With a ghostly tune and the devil's pride

Stranger whispered all the town
Has he come to save us from Satan's hand?
Leading them away to a foreign land

Play for me, minstrel, play and take away our sorrows
Play for me, minstrel, play and we'll follow
Hear, listen, can you hear the haunting melody surrounding you?
Weaving a magic spell all around you

Danger hidden in his eyes
We should have seen it from far away
Wearing such a thin disguise in the light of day

Held the answer to our prayers
Yet it was too good to be
Proof before our very eyes, yet we could not see

Play for me, minstrel, play and take away our sorrows
Play for me, minstrel, play and we'll follow
Hear, listen, can you hear the haunting melody surrounding you?
Weaving a magic spell all around you
