from Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey (1971)
Well you know sometimes it gets so hard
And everything don't seem to rhyme I take a walk out in my backyard and go Do do loo do do, do do loo do do Waiting for the sun to shine And you know sometimes it gets so painful Just like talking to yourself When everything don't seem to have no rhyme or reason we all go Do do loo do do, do do loo do do Waiting for the sun to shine We move along Keep singing our song Straight to your heart like a cannonball La la ti da, la la ti da Doo do loo do do Waiting for the sun to shine Well you know, everyday we hear it through the grapevine That's why I'm so tired of hearing it through the grapevine anymore Because you hear it through the grapevine It's just a dirty rotten waste of time, we go Do do loo do do While waiting for the sun to shine We move along Keeping singing our song Straight to your heart like a cannonball La la ti da, la la ti da Doo do loo do do We move along Keep singing our song Straight to your heart like a cannonball |

There's a voice cryin' out in the wilderness
All your trails have not been in vain And you're doin' the best you know how to do Gaining strength in the things that remain You're part of the plan For a new kind of man to come through There's an angel that's watching right over you All your trials have not been in vain Won't you lift your head up to the starry night Finding strength in the things that remain You're part of the plan For a new kind of man to come through When a man comes through He must do what he's supposed to do When a man comes through He can't do what everyone expects him Won't you lift your head up to the mountain top All your trials have not been in vain There's a light that keeps shining up ahead of you Every step of the way that you take It's part of the plan For a new kind of man to come through |

I walked in my greatcoat, down through the days of the leaves
No before after, yes after before We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder? Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright? Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame? On and on and on and on, we kept on singing our song Over Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road With Boffyflow and Spike, I said I could describe the leaves For Samuel and Felicity, rich, red browney, half burnt orange and green Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder? Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright? Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame? It's easy to describe the leaves in the Autumn And it's, oh so easy in the Spring But down through January and February It's a very different thing On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too I said, I could describe the leaves for Samuel And what it means to you and me You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love Philosophy Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder? Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright? Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame? Wee Alfie at the Castle Picturehouse on the Castlereagh Road Whistling on the corner next door Where he kept Johnny Mack Brown's horse O Solo Mio by McGimsey and the man who played the saw Outside the city hall, pastie suppers down at Davy's chipper Gravyrings, barnbracks, wagonwheels, snowballs |

Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down Me and Billy standin' there With a silver half a crown Hands are full of a fishin' rod And the tackle on our backs We just stood there gettin' wet With our backs against the fence. Oh the water, oh the water, oh the water Hope it don't rain all day. And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like jelly-roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me. Then the rain let up And the sun came up And we were gettin' dry Almost glad a pick-up truck Nearly passed us by So we jumped right in And the driver grinned And he dropped us up the road We looked at the swim And we jumped right in Not to mention fishing poles. Oh the water, oh the water, oh the water Let it run all over me. And it stoned me to my soul...etc. On the way back home We sang a song But our throats were gettin' dry Then we saw the man From across the road With the sunshine in his eye Well he lived all alone In his own little home With a great big gallon jar There were bottles, two One for me and you And he said, "Hey ! there you are!" On the water, oh the water, oh the water Get it myself from the mountain stream. |

Aryan mist
Among the bridges You hang by the river You've been here forever Aryan mist What can the matter be In a world full of glamor Does it lift you up Or is it railway carriage charm You just sit here And look from your carriage As you watch the scene go by Gurus from the east Gurus from the west Does it lift you up Or is it railway carriage charm Aryan mist Among the bridges You hang by the river You've been here forever Aryan mist Aryan mist There's so many people Going down by the river Down by the river To get clean The fog of illusion The fog of confusion Is hanging all over the world Gurus from the east Gurus from the west Does it lift you up Or is it railway carriage charm Aryan mist You've been here forever Remind me of Krishna Love first sweet kiss Aryan mist Aryan mist Among the bridges You hang by the river You've been here forever Aryan mist Does it lift you up Or is it railway carriage charm |

If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dream Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again From the far side of the ocean If I put the wheels in motion And I stand with my arms behind me And I'm pushin' on the door Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again There you go Standin' with the look of avarice Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter Showin' pictures on the wall Whisperin' in the hall And pointin' a finger at me There you go, there you go Standin' in the sun darlin' With your arms behind you And your eyes before There you go Takin' good care of your boy Seein' that he's got clean clothes Puttin' on his little red shoes I see you know he's got clean clothes A-puttin' on his little red shoes A-pointin' a finger at me And here I am Standing in your sad arrest Trying to do my very best Lookin' straight at you Comin' through, darlin' Yeah, yeah, yeah If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dreams Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me Would you kiss-a my eyes Lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again To be born again In another world In another world In another time Got a home on high Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world I'm nothing but a stranger in this world I got a home on high In another land So far away So far away Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven In another time In another place In another time In another place Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven We are goin' up to heaven We are goin' to heaven In another time In another place In another time In another place In another face.. |

Leaves of brown they fall to the ground
And it's here, over there leaves around Shut the door, dim the lights and relax What is more, your desire or the facts Pitter patter the rain falling down Little glamor sun coming round Take a walk when autumn comes to town Little stroll past the house on the hill Some more coal on the fire will do well And in a week or two it'll be Halloween Set the page and the stage for the scene Little game the children will play And as we watch them while time away Look at me and take my breath away yeah You'll be smiling eyes beguiling And the song on the breeze Will call my name out and your dream Chestnuts roasting outside as you walk With your love by your side The old accordion man plays mellow and bright And you go home in the crispness of the night Little later friends will be along And if you feel like joining the throng Just might feel like singing Autumn song Just may feel like singing Autumn song You'll be smiling Eyes beguiling And the song on the breeze Calls my name out in your dream Chestnuts roasting outside As you walk with your love by your side And the old accordion plays mellow and bright And you go home in the crispness of the night |

Saw you standin' in the pouring rain Left my message on the window pain Back on the street again Back on the beat again I'm back on the top again Saw me climbing to the top of the hill You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill Learned my lesson and I had my fill Learnt it all in vain Went through it all again Now I'm back on the top again Always strivin', always climbing way beyond my will Same old sensation, isolation at the top of the bill Always seeming, like I'm moving but I'm really going slow What do you do when you get to the top and there's nowhere to go Just how I get there will be anybody's guess With all the so called trappings of success Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill Too busy raisin' Cain I'm back on the street again I'm back on the top again Always strivin', always climbing way beyond my will It's the same old sensation, isolation at the top of the hill Always seeming, like I'm moving but I'm really going slow You'll find out when you get to the top that there's nowhere to go How you get there will be anybody's guess With all the so called trappings of success Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill Too busy raisin' Cain I'm back on the street again I'm back on the top again Back on my feet again I'm back on the street again I'm back on the top again |

You didn't know I wasn't free
When you fell in love with me And with all your young heart You learned to care It brought you shame and disgrace The world has tumbled in your face Because they call our love A back street affair They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong They don't know the sorrow That we had to bear While the one I was tied to Was the first to be untrue How can they call our love A back street affair Well, we have each other now That's all that matters anyhow While the judgment Of gossips never fair We'll just be brave and strong Then someday they'll see they're wrong So, let them call our love A back street affair We'll be free to love someday When all the talk has died away And the happiness we hoped for Then we'll share And I'll climb a mountain high And the world will hear me cry That our love is not A backstreet affair |

It's not easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves When I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold Or something much more colorful like that It's not easy bein' green It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over 'Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles On the water or stars in the sky But green is the color of spring And green can be cool and friendly like And green can be big like an ocean Or important like a mountain or tall like a tree When green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful And I think it's what I want to be |

(Big blue diamonds) I'd gladly to my part Oh, mend a broken heart (big diamonds) With a love that's warmed over (love soon grows cold) Soon grows cold (it soon grows cold) Big diamonds (diamonds) Big blue diamonds (diamonds) I don't want them, no! Oh, I just want a love behind The little band of gold (The band of gold) ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By EARL 'KIT' CARSON <i>Lyrics © CARLIN AMERICA INC, WINDSWEPT HOLDINGS LLC</i> |

When all the dark clouds roll away
And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day, oh I was lost and double crossed With my hands behind my back I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt Shoved out on the railroad track I've been used, abused and so confused And I had nowhere to run But I stood and looked And my eyes got hooked On that beautiful morning sun And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day, oh And the sun shines down all on the ground Yeah, and the grass is oh so green And my heart is still and I've got the will And I don't really feel so mean Here it comes, here it comes Here it comes right now And it comes right in on time Well is eases me and it pleases me And it satisfies my mind And it seems like and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand new day, yeah A brand new day, oh |

Bright Side Of The Road
From the dark end of the street To the bright side of the road We'll be lovers once again on the Bright side of the road Little darlin', come with me Won't you help me share my load From the dark end of the street To the bright side of the road .. Into this life we're born Baby sometimes we don't know why And time seems to go by so fast In the twinkling of an eye Let's enjoy it while we can Won't you help me sing my song From the dark end of the street To the bright side of the road From the dark end of the street To the bright side of the road We'll be lovers once again On the bright side of the road We'll be lovers once again on the bright side of the road |

My friend I see you Want you to come through (alright) And she's standing in the shadows Where the street lights all turn blue She leaving for an American (uhuh) Suitcase in her hand I said her brothers and her sisters Are all on Atlantic sand She's screaming through the alley way I hear the lonely cry, why can't you? And her batteries are corroded And her hundred watt bulb just blew Lallallal, alright, huhuhhuh She used to hang out at Miss Lucy's Every weekend they would get loose And it was a straight clear case of Having taken in too much juice It was outside, and it was outside Just the nature of the person Now all you got to remember After all, it's just show biz Lallalal, huhuh, lallal We're just screaming through the alley way I hear her lonely cry, ah why can't you? And she's standing in the shadows Canal street lights all turn blue And she's standing in the shadows Where the street lights all turn blue And she's standing in the shadows Down where the street lights all turn blue Hey, hey, yeah |

Cleaning Windows
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street Got in my nose As we carried our ladders down the street With the wrought-iron gate rows I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-break Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner And went straight back to work. Oh, Sam was up on top And I was on the bottom with the v We went for lemonade and Paris buns At the shop and broke for tea I collected from the lady And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out I was blowing saxophone on the weekend In that down joint. What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows Take my time I'll see you when my love grows Baby don't let it slide I'm a working man in my prime Cleaning windows (number a hundred and thirty-six) I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon On the street where I was born Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters singin' "I'm A Rolling Stone" I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen Curiosity killed the cat Kerouac's "Dharma Bums" and "On The Road" What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows Take my time I'll see you when my love grows Baby don't let it slide I'm a working man in my prime Cleaning windows... |

I waited for you
You waited for me That it seemed like, seemed like a mighty long time Baby I had to have you Oh, I had to have you Come rain, rain or shine It was a cold wind in August Shivers up and down my spine I was standin' in your garden In the California pine I was standing shivering I've got the fever in the rain But I can't come on back to see you Again and again and again I said I, I had to have you Baby I had to have you Come rain, come rain or shine It was a cold wind in August Shivers up and down my spine And I was standing in your garden In the California pine California pine It was a cold wind in August Shivers up and down my spine I was standin' in your garden In the California pine In the California pine It was a cold wind in August I was pushed on through September Oh pushin' through September In the rain Pushin' through, pushin' through September In the rain Ooh It was a cold wind in August Shivers up and down my spine I was standin', standin' in your garden In the California pine |

Come here my love
This feeling has me spellbound Yet the storyline, in paragraphs, Laid down the same In fathoms of my inner mind I'm mystified, oh, by this mood This melancholy feeling That just don't do no good Come here my love And I will lift my spirits high for you I'd like to fly away and spend a day or two Just contemplating the fields and leaves And talking about nothing Just layin' down in shades of effervescent, effervescent odors And shades of time and tide And flowing through Become enraptured by the sights and sounds In intrigue of nature's beauty Come along with me And take it all in Come here my love |

By the side of the tracks where the train goes by
The wind and the rain will catch you, you will sigh Deep in your heart Then you'll come a-running to me You'll come a-running to me Well you watch the train go 'round the bend Play in dust and dream that it will never end Deep in your heart You'll come a-running to me You'll come a-running to me Said, hey, come a-running to me Oh, come a-running to me Hey, yeah, come a-running to me Said, hey, come a-running to me Oh, come a-running to me Hey, yeah, come a-running to me With your hound dog by your side And your arms stretched out open wide I wanna keep you satisfied in the morning sun By my side, come on, come on run And you kick the sand up with your heels You think to yourself how good it feels Put away all your walking shoes Then you come running to me Now you come running to me I said, hey, come a-running to me Oh, come a-running to me Hey, yeah, come a-running to me You gotta rainbow if you run to me |

Coming down from Downpatrick
Stopping off at St. John's Point Out all day birdwatching And the craic was good Stopped off at Strangford Lough Early in the morning Drove through Shrigley taking pictures And on to Killyleagh Stopped off for Sunday papers at the Lecale District, just before Coney Island On and on, over the hill to Ardglass In the jam jar, autumn sunshine, magnificent And all shining through Stop off at Ardglass for a couple of jars of Mussels and some potted herrings in case We get famished before dinner On and on, over the hill and the craic is good Heading towards Coney Island I look at the side of your face as the sunlight comes Streaming through the window in the autumn sunshine And all the time going to Coney Island I'm thinking, Wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time. |

Contacting my angel, contacting my angel
She's the one, she's the one, that satisfies Contacting my angel she's the one that satisfies She's the one that I adore Got a telepathic message from my baby In a little village through the fog Here comes my baby, I can tell, I can tell By the way she walks Said I've been on a journey up the mountain side And I drank the water from the stream It was pure, pure water and I got completely healed I met a presence on the mountain side And he looked so radiant and he was the Youth of eternal summers Like a sweet bird of youth in my soul In my soul, in my soul, in my soul, in my soul In my soul, in my soul. |

We stood and watched the river flow
We were too young to really know In the country fair Oh, in the country fair We laid out in the long green grass And never thought that it would pass In the country fair In the country fair On an old, on an old open day On an old rain shine open day In the country fair In the cool night air In sweet summer time We counted pebbles in the sand Sand like time slippin' through our hand In the country fair In the country fair On an old, on an old open day On an old rain track open day In the country fair In the cool night air In sweet summer time Hmmm mmmm On an old open day On an old Pine cone open day |

Crazy Face
All the people were waiting for Crazy Face He said he'd meet them at his favourite place Dressed in black satin, white linen and lace With his head held high and a smile on his face He said: Ladies and gentlemen, the prince is late As he stood outside the church-yard gate And polished up on his .38 and said I got it from Jesse James. |

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open everytime she smiles And when I come to her that's where I belong Yet I'm running to her like a river's song She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down And when I come to her when the sun goes down She take away my trouble, take away my grief Take away my heartache, I go right to sleep She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love Yes I need her in the daytime Yes I need her in the night Yes I want to throw my arms around her Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight And when I'm returning from so far away She gives me some sweet lovin' brightens up my day Yes it make me righteous yes it makes me whole Yes it makes me mellow down to my soul She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love |

And we don't care just who you know It's who you are And when they all go home Down the cobblestones You can double back (spoken "This is it") To a cul de sac Mmm |

The avenue of trees Keep walking down In the wind and the rain, darling You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees Nobody, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby So young and bold, fourteen years old Baby, baby, baby...
