Jethro Tull - Dangerous Veils Lyrics
Desert candle in a tented space
throwing softer shadows on a covered face.
Sister, silent to the likes of me --
Pay my respects to her propriety.
dancing behind her thin black veil?
Am I misreading those mysterious eyes?
Duet impossible to harmonize.
I'm not inviting any stiff reaction.
I'm not one for naming holy names.
And I won't peek behind those dangerous veils.
Though you might hate me just the same.
Name of the Father ringing in her head --
Words and tradition bind her in their spell.
Don't drink the water from this holy well.
I'm not inviting any fierce reaction
and I'm not one for naming holy names.
I won't peek behind those dangerous veils.
Though you might hate me just the same.
Desert candle in a tented space
Softer shadows on a covered face.
Sister, silent to the likes of me --
I tip my hat to her propriety.
I'm not inviting any fierce reaction
and I'm not one for naming holy names.
I won't peek behind those dangerous veils.
Though you might hate me just the same.

Jethro Tull Dangerous Veils Comments
One of my favorite Tull tracks...Their best 90s song IMO.
Completely awesome!
good one.
There is an incredible bass solo in this song which no one notices thanks to Ian making it virtually inaudible
simonstuartmclean - The production is pretty light on bass.
Bass often is.
This was the very first CD I ever bought.
starting 2:30 :) so evil
great album and the whole long Tull scene
the ending section is awesome, duel of electric guitar and organ
Ian Anderson is the musical genius of our time. Martin is my favorite guitar player.
It all started with a flute.
Thank you, Hakitarkus.
The lyrics seem even more relevant today
... man i think that so often listen to music 20-40 years old
