Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Beside You

Little Jimmy's gone way out of the back streets

Out of the window, into the falling rain

And he's right on time, right on time

That's why broken arrow waved his finger

Down the road so dark and narrow

In the evening just before the Sunday sixbells chime

And way out on the highway

All the dogs are barkin' way down below

And you wander away from your hillside retreated view

Went to wanderin' Nordhbridge way out on the railroad

Together all the tipping trucks will unload

All the scrapbooks built together stuck with glue

And I'll stand beside you, beside you

Oh child to never wonder why

To never, never, never, never wonder why at all

To never, never, never, never wonder why

It's gotta be, it has to be

Across the crystal pavements

Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide

The dynamo of your smile caressed the

Barefoot virgin child

To wander past your window in the nighttime 'cross the floor

Crying as ecstasy surrounds you

Through the night air your proud time is open

Go well against the pointed idle breeze

Past the footlights of the brazen silence easy

In the night you cry and you want spirits to tell you

Everything's alright

Go ahead and do it one more time baby

You're satisfied I guess

You're way up and the sky comes down

Kaleidoscope

Open and just hold the lantern in the doorway

For the freedom of it

And you take the night air through your nostrils

And you breathe in out, in out

And you breathe just like that, just like that

How does it get you when it gets you

When it gets ya

You may not know it's got you until you turn around

And I'll point a finger at you, point a finger at you

You say which way, which way

That's alright, we've gotten hip to it

Goin' to do it right now

Behind you, beside you, beside you

Oh child to never wonder why

To never, never, never, never wonder why at all

Never, never, never, never wonder why at all
