Jethro Tull - Later, that same evening

Later, that same evening, she ran
I think she ran alone
Later, she had early warning from
An hidden phone
Checked with the embassy -
She might have been
A million miles away
Should I circulate her likeness
At all airports without delay?
It was later -
Later, that same evening

Earlier, we had had a drink or four
In some Kensington hotel
Hard - it was hard to keep my mind
On what she had to sell
And with all business done
We took a cab -
Should it be her place or mine?
Good security preveailed
And I was home just after nine
It was later -
Later that same evening

Now I want you back
Yes, they want you back
We want you back
My country wants you back

Later, in the wee small hours
There was heavy traffic on the radio
Scare at a channel port -
Small craft warnings to keep to shore
Lobstermen thought they saw
A submarine
Had emerged suspiciously
Though I arrived too late,
I'm sure she blew a kiss to me
As the sub sailed out to sea.
