a seam and an interconnection...
Last lights wink out on this pale and sultry night. Stars signal long past two AM. I feel the lateness in the hour and I'm fifty long years from home.
A new dawn glimmers. Time for a change of horses. It's time to chart new courses and head for safer houses. No more empty towers of this unholy Babylon. Some four hundred thousand hours have come and gone.
I smell, in the air, a new meadow morning. Fresh-flowering grasses stirring and no pressure free-falling. Thin mists to bring and light airs to call.
And we treasure all, all that we left behind us. No pointed cold and dark regrets. No nameless blame to lay. Resolute, the optimist, I ride fresh horse and spur it on. Four hundred thousand hours have come and gone.

As far as I can tell, 'A Change of Horses' is linked to everything...everything Tull, everything poetic and spritual and just plain everything like oxygen and sunlight

It was Brian Stormmonkey who suggested that the man in Fires At Midnight was the same man as the one in Pibroch.
Sadly FAM man ended up peering through the window in Pibroch at his lost love. *suitable emoji*
There's a light in the house in the wood in the valley. There's a thought in the head of the man. Who carries his dreams like the coat slung on his shoulder, Bringing you love in the cap in his hand.
And each step he takes is one half of a lifetime: no word he would say could you understand. So he bundles his regrets into a gesture of sorrow, Bringing you love cap in hand.
Catching breath as he looks through the dining-room window: candle lit table for two has been laid. Strange slippers by the fire. Strange boots in the hallway.
Put my cap on my head. I turn and walk away.

I just went through my library really quick, trying to glance for more examples of songs referencing, if not each other then at least the concepts espoused musically and lyrically across each other. I came up with a lot less than I was expecting, thought there was more, but these are the ones I can think of:
"Renew the pledge of life's long song, rise to the reveille horn" - 2nd side of APP.
"As the Baker Street train spills your pain, all over your new dress" - Life is a Long Song/Baker St. Muse
The "main riff" from TaaB (the "see there, a son is born" part) is played for one measure on the second side of APP
And then of course there's intertrack references within an album, Aqualung mentioned in Cross-Eyed Mary, verses of Too Old to Rock n' Roll directly referenced at the beginning of Quizz Kid etc.

Has anyone caught the Aqualung riff in Adrift and Dumbfounded? One of those little hidden lines that serves as a nod to the die-hards
