Van Morrison - New York Session '67 [project, live] (1997) by Van Morrison (보컬) on maniadb.com

Hey where did we go, days when the rain came.
Down in the hollow, playin' a new game.
Laughin' and a runnin' , hey hey, skippin' and a jumpin'
in the misty mornin' fog with our hearts a thumpin' at you,
The Brown-Eyed Girl
You're my Brown-Eyed Girl

Now what ever happened, Tuesday is so slow,
Goin' down the old man river, with a transistor radio
standin' in the sunlight laughin'
hidin' behind a rainbow wall
Slippin' and a slidin', all along the waterfall with you,
the Brown-Eyed Girl
You're my Brown-Eyed Girl.

Do you remember when, ah we used to sing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
la dee dah

So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day, my how you had grown,
Cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' bout,
makin love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you.
the Brown-Eyed Girl
You, my Brown-Eyed Girl.

Do you remember when, ah we used to sing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

Little gal, little girl, Lord, you know it's true,
Little gal, little girl, Lord, you know it's true,
I don't wanna stop rockin' and rollin' with you.

Are you gonna let me stand alone ?
Are you gonna let me stand alone ?
Caught you this morning before your Daddy came home.

And I done more for you than your Daddy has ever done,
I done more for you than your Daddy has ever done,
Gave you my jelly roll and he ain't give you none.
Let's go, Eric.

Don't you ever go down, down on Curzon Street, it's bad.
Don't you ever go down, down on Curzon Street.
That's where old John flogs his daily meat.

Maybe sometime he say leave the little boy and the girl behind.
I got messed up round somewhere called Notting Hill Gate,
I lived there for a while, but I moved out and when I moved out I was in such a state,
I've never gone back there,

But I, I'm sure I done more for you than your Daddy has ever done, baby,
Made you learn your syllables.
Done more for you than your Daddy has ever done, all right, ha ha,
Gave you my jelly roll and he ain't give you none.
Stay on the move.

In the back street, in the back street I gave you my jelly roll,
Ah, I gave it to you, ha ha.
Remember when we were down in the, the alley
And I said the lights were out, baby this is it you know, ha ha ha,
All right, we got a good thing going.
You can leave now if you don't like what's happening.
You know we got a... a few things going, you know, ha ha,
It's a drag, ha ha, huh, that's what you call it.

Now listen, Julie baby,
it ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight.
It ain't natural for you to cry way into midnight through,
Until the wee small hours long 'fore the break of dawn,
Oh Lord, huh uh ha. Ha.

Now Julie, an' there ain't nothin' on my mind
More further 'way than what you're lookin' for.
I see the way you jumped at me, Lord, from behind the door
And looked into my eyes.
Your a little star struck innuendos
Inadequacies an' foreign bodies,
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain,
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain, oh Lord.

Ha, so open up the window and let me breathe.
I said open up the window, shh shh shh shh shh and let me breathe.
I'm looking down to the street below, Lord, I cried for you,
Ha ha, I cried, I cried for you, ha ha. Oh, Lord.

The cool room, Lord is a fool's room.
The cool room, Lord is a fool's room.
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
On your sick bed.

I gotta go, I gotta go
And you said, "Please stay, I wanna, I wanna,
I want a drink of water, I want a drink of water,
Go in the kitchen get me a drink of water."
I said, "I gotta go, I gotta go, baby."
I said, "I'
end, I'll send somebody around here later.
You know we got John comin' around here later
With a bottle of wine for you, baby - but I gotta go."

The cool room, Lord is a fool's room,
The cool room, Lord, Lord is a fool's room, a fool's room.
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets,
I can almost smell your T.B. sheets, T.B.

I gotta go, I gotta go.
I'll send around, send around one that grumbles later on, babe.
We'll see what I can pick up for you, you know.
Yeah, I got a few things gotta do.
Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, don't worry.
Huh uh, go, go, go, I've gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go,
Gotta go, gotta go, huh uh, all right, all right, huh huh huh.

I turned on the radio,
If you wanna hear a few tunes, I'll turn on the radio for you.
There you go, there you go, there you go, baby, there you go, huh.

You'll be all right, too, huh huh, ha ha, yeah.
I know it ain't funny, it ain't runny at all, baby,
Always laying in the cool room, man, laying in the cool room,
In the cool room, in the cool room.

The wine beneath the bed,
The things we've done and said
And all the memories that come glancing back to me
In my loneliness
You're standing in the breach
Beyond that stretch, but our love will reach
Unconsciousness that find me sometimes wondering
Where you're at.
Hmm, take me back again,
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

The way you pulled the gate
Behind you when you said, "It ain't too late,
Come on, let's have a ball
And swing the town tonight."
And hoping you'd come through
And many others, too,
And all the friends we used to have in days gone by,
I'm wondering
If you'll take me back again,
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

And when the lights went out
And no one was abandoning the country in full bloom,
In the room we danced
And many hearts were torn
And when the word went around that everything was wrong
And couldn't be put right
It tore me up, it tore me up.

In slumber you did sleep,
The window I did creep
And touch your raven hair and sing that song
Again to you.
You did not even wince,
You thought I was the Prince
To come and take you from your misery
And lonely castle walls.
Ah, take me back again,
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

(fadeout)
Ah ah, ah ah,
Mmmj, mmm,
Da da da di da da da ...

Goodbye baby, so long girl.
I know you ain't gonna like it,
But i'm stepping right out in your world
For i'm coming to your party
And i won't be able to stay,
But i'm gonna kiss you one more time, lord,
Then i'm going away.
Goodbye baby hmm, baby goodbye hmm.

You may be lonely, yeah, you may be hurt,
Like a fool i gave you candy,
You turned around and treated me like dirt.
But still i'm gonna come to your party
And just before the break of day
I'm gonna touch you one more time, lord,
Then i'm going away.
Sing it to me again
Goodbye baby hmm ha, baby goodbye.

Look out, what you see ?

I see a train a-coming,
A train a-coming down the long lonesome track.
I'll tell you, girl, i gotta go on home now,
But deep down in your heart
You know that someday i'm, i'm coming back
And i'm gonna look for you at your party,
'cause all the time i know that i'll find you there
And listen, i'm gonna dance with you
One more time, oh yeah.
Sing it to me tonight now
Goodbye baby, sing it sweet baby goodbye.

Lord, you're singing so sweet tonight goodbye baby
Goodbye baby baby baby baby goodbye
I'll see you around sometime, lord goodbye baby...

Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey,
Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey.
You're the apple of my eye,
Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie.

She's just sixteen and she's not yet grown,
She never goes out on her own.
She lives way up on the Avenue of Trees,
Where I chanced to walk in the cool night breeze.
And I, I see her face, her smile, her hair,
I cry, "Oh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh."

Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey,
Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey.
You're the apple of my eye,
Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie,
Huh uh, huh uh, huh uh.

She came on walking down the avenue and I said,
"Baby, can I come in, baby, can I come in
And love you one more time ?"
She said, "I love you, babe."
I said, "D-d-d-do you, whoa woman, do you,
Do you love me ?"

Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey,
Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey.
You're the apple of my eye,
Ice cream in my cherry pie.

Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines
And who said follow the man it's your only chance
Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own

And who said
Look at you, look at you
You got jam on your face and
Who did your homework and read your Bible,
And signed your name everyplace and
Who said fortunes untold don't go by gold,
You're much better known
You got to make it on your own, on your own.

And do you remember, do you remember
I said a long time ago when I came walkin' down
I came walkin' down
Maggie's place
It started comin' on rain,
It started comin' on rain,
'Cause I had nothin' on but a shirt
And a pair of pants
And I was gettin' wet,
And I was gettin' wet,
Saturated, saturated
And Maggie opened up the window
And Jane swung out her right arm,
She said, Hi! I said, Hi! ya.
How're your doin' baby.
She said, Come on in out of the rain
Come on in out of the rain, Lord,
Come on in out of the rain.

Sit down by the fireside
Dry yourself,
Do, do it,
I got caught,
I got caught,
In a bag.

Let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Shine a light on me,
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight...
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Ever loving light on me.

Yonder come miss Rosey,
How in the world do you know,
How in the world do you know ?
Well, I know her by her apron
And the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,
A piece of paper in her hand,
She gonna tell old John
She want back her man,
She want back her man.

Let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Shine a light on me.
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight...
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Ever loving light on...

If you ever go to Houston,
Yeah, you better walk right,
You'd better not gamble
And sure thing better not fight.
The next thing you know
The sheriff gonna arrest you
And some judge send you down
And you can bet your bottom dollar
Lord, you'll be chaingang bound,
Chaingang bound.

Let the midnight special
Let the midnight
Shine its light on me
Shine, shine, shine, shine,
Let the midnight special
Shine on,
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Shine on me, yeah.

Let the midnight special
Shine, shine, shine,
Shine its light on me
Shine, shine on me,
Let the midnight special
Way into midnight,
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Way into midnight, baby,
Let the midnight special
Waah...

Little Jimmy's gone
Way out of the backstreet
Out of the window
Through the fallin' rain
Right on time
Right on time
That's why Broken Arrow
Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow
In the evenin'
Just before the Sunday six-bells chime, six-bells chime
And all the dogs are barkin'
Way on down the diamond-studded highway where you wander
And you roam from your retreat and view
Way over on the railroad
Tomorrow all the tippin' trucks will unload
Every scrapbook stuck will glue
And I'll stand beside you
Beside you child
To never never never wonder why at all
No no no no no no no no
To never never wonder why at all
To never never never wonder why it's gotta be
It has to be
Way across the country where the hillside mountain glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander
Past your window with a lantern lit
You held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed island breeze
Said your time was open, go well on your merry way
Past the brazen footlets of the silence easy
You breathe in you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out you breath in
you breathe out you breathe in you breathe out
And you're high on your high-flyin' cloud
Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you
This time it's found you
You turn around you turn around you turn around you turn around
And I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh darlin'
To never never wonder why at all
No no no no no
To never never never wonder why at all
To never never never wonder why it's gotta be
It has to be
And I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh child
To never never wonder why at all
I'm beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Oh child

If it matters how you do it,
And how you do it it's your thing.
If it matters which way you go,
That's your way to go.
And if you get it like that,
That's the way you get it,
'Cause you get it like that
When you want to be that way,
When you wanna be that way,
That's the way you wanna be, see.

Hey! It's all right.
Hey!
Yeah, its all right.

Now that you try to do to me
Out there a-walkin' doesn't matter, baby
Ain't no question, no suggestion
Nothin' in my mind that can't be
Shut out when I want it to be
Nothin' in yours that can't be kept in
When you open it up and lose it
And nothin' you can't let out
If it's got to be let out, just let it out
And don't worry which way it goes.

Chorus

Now how can I tell you that I love you
How can I say so many words and so many syllables
In such a short space of time as this
Just turn it on and soak it in
And let it run off the walls
And let it down, keep it, and don't lose it
Or confuse it
It's just right there layin' open
Completely open for everybody to see
Yeah, you got it.

Chorus

Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a child-like vision leaping into view.
The clicking clacking of the high-heeled shoes,
Ford and Fitzroy; Madam George.
Marching with the soldierboy behind
He's much older now with hat on, drinking wine
And the smell of sweet perfume comes drifting thru
In the cool night breeze like Shalimar
And then your self control lets go
And suddenly you're up against the bathroom door.
The hallway lights are finely getting dim
You're in the front row touching him
And outside they're making all the stops
The kinds out in the streets collecting bottle tops,
Going for cigarettes and matches to the shops,
Happy talking, Madam George
And that's when you fall, Oh,
Oh, that's when you fall

And you fall into a trance
Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms in history books you glance
Into the eyes of Madam George
And you think you've found your bag,
You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
And in the corner playing dominoes in drag,
The one and only Madam George
And outside the frosty window raps
She says "Be cool, I think that it's the cops"
Stands up, drops everything she gots,
It's not easy now you know
Now you know you gotta go
Catch a train from Dublin up to Sandy Row,
In the wind, rain & fog & slush & snow
Keep on going on
Say good-bye we know you're pretty far out
And all the little boys comin' round
They got gold cigarette lighters in their pockets
Walking away from it all, so cool.
That's when you fall.

The smile you smile as you and i, see through your laughing eyes
The smile you smile as you and i, see through your laughing eyes.

O baby, in the whirlpool of them,
I can be in paradise.

I go roamin' in the gloamin ever and a day with you,
O yes we will, i go roamin' in the gloamin?ever and a day with you,

O baby, and sit between the stars and say,
That's my point of view.

O yes - i, i, i, i, i love you
I, i, i, i, i love you.

In the purple heather, on a hillside, mountain fog will stray
O yeah, in the purple heather, on a hillside, mountain fog will stray.

O yeah, and chase the coloured the grass,
Around us in the same old way.

I, i, i, i, i love you, baby
I, i, i, i, i love you, o baby.

In the back room (in the back room)
In the back room (in the back room)
I waited for you (waited for you)
Ya waited for me (waited for me)

Rain came down, pitter-pat
Say, what you think, it's raining outside
You said, "So what"
You turned the record player on, had a smoke
Stood up, walked across to the joint in a cloud of mist
Couldn't resist

A kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the door
Found the key in the letter box, she turned the door
Walked into the room and said, "What's goin' on?"
I just got back from down the road
Gotta couple a bottles of wine, somethin' to turn you on

What-a you think of that? (think of that, girl)
(Think of that girl)
I said, "Sit down cat, pull up a seat, you're soakin' wet"
"Take off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"

In the back room (in the back room)
In the back room (in the back room)
I waited for you (waited for you)
Ya waited for me (waited for me)

I said, "What time is it Charlie, where did we go all day?"
Seem to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other
He said, "I know, I been doin' the same thing for weeks"
I look at the clock and all of a sudden I'm hypnotized
It speaks to me, it goes "tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", ah-huh The kid he said, "I don't know what you guys do but I been workin'
so hard, lately that I can just only fall asleep in bed"
So he played some more sounds and grooved a while
Somebody brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine
And we talked about what was goin' on in the music world
And other things
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha

The rain outside came down like it came never before
Down, came down, it came, rain rain rain
And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me what time is it?
"Ah, four-thirty"

So I peeked 'round the corner, the blind
An' there ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home from school
Lookin' so cool, just learned her A's to Z's
And said,
"Hey man don't look funny, all the little girls comin' home from school
And they're sittin', talkin' and drinkin' and all them other funny things
A-ha-ha-ha

And Charlie said to me, "Ya know what?" I said, "What?"
He said, "Man you gotta go out there and do somethin' for yourself"
"Feel like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here like,
nothin' "
I said, "You're right, I said "You're so right"
He said, "I know" ha
I said, "Do ya?"
Said, "You know you're cuttin' records, cuttin' records right
You come through that"
An' just through all the time you're gonna be out on the road
I'm out on the backseat man, on the, on the highway
And the colors are gonna run
All of a sudden don't ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make it
"I said, "Yeah I feel safe

I said, "Yeah you know I can't stay here all the time as much as I'd like to
But, I just learned about all day and all night
And dig sounds, and go down to the river
And once the artists go through the motions
Gotta do my thing, aah-ah (in the back room) ah-ah
Gotta do my thing (in the back room)
In the back room (in the back room)
FADES-
In the back room (in the back room)

Well you thought I was a stranger when you looked upon me, when I came by
But to take you from disaster I cannot master, (the four winds...shy ???)
And the roamin' in the gloamin' you have brought, and set before me
And I think that it's an omen, I'm just not what so many people see.

And you shine your glory all around
Do not disguise what we did
I asked you for half a pound, and you said -
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid.

And the child held a ball in the garden, with the old queen
And you kissed the lips and heart in all the (stranger?), you know what I mean
And you walked on in the streets all lonely, in your own childish way
And you thought that you would only - do it for today.

And you shine your glory all around
Do not disguise what we did
I asked you for half a pound, and you said -
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid.

And just went outside the club and the rain came down on his head and it got all soaking wet.
He said go for yourself, I said I know, sure Joe, I ain't conquered yet
And I walked away from the backstreets and the rain, and the (song?), how many times have I died?
And we turned on outside of the bus shelter and I jumped on and said "Goodbye."

And I shine my glory all around
Do not disguise what I did
Tried to keep it underground and they said -
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
You gotta, go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, Saturday morning...

Now what ever happened, Tuesday is so slow,
Goin' down the old man river, with a transistor radio

hidin' behind a rainbow wall
Slippin' and a slidin', all along the waterfall with you,

You're my Brown-Eyed Girl.

Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' bout,
