Van Morrison

Hymns to the Silence

Oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love

Oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love

When I'm away from you, when I'm away from you

Well I feel, yeah, well I feel so sad and blue

Well I feel, well I feel so sad and blue

Oh my dear, oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love

When I'm away from you, I just have to sing, my hymns

Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

Oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love it's a long, long journey

Long, long journey, journey back home

Back home to you, feel you by my side

Long journey, journey, journey

Yeah in the midnight, in the midnight, I burn the candle

Burn the candle at both ends, burn the candle at both ends

Burn the candle at both ends, burn the candle at both ends

And I keep on, 'cause I can't sleep at night

Until the daylight comes through

And I just, and I just, have to sing

Sing my hymns to the silence

Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

My hymns to the silence

I wanna go out in the countryside

Oh sit by the clear, cool, crystal water

Get my spirit, way back to the feeling

Deep in my soul, I wanna feel

Oh so close to the One, close to the One

Close to the One, close to the One

And that's why, I keep on singing baby

My hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

Oh my hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

Oh hymns to the silence, oh hymns to the silence

Oh hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

Oh my dear, my dear sweet love

Can you feel the silence? can you feel the silence?

Can you feel the silence? can you feel the silence?

Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence

Hymns to the silence, hymns to the silence
