Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Joe Harper Saturday Morning

When ya thought I was a stranger

When you looked upon me

When I came back

But to take you from disaster

I cannot master the four winds in your shack

In 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 shined 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

When ya kissed the lips and heart

Another stranger, ya know what I mean

And ya walked on the streets so lonely

In your own childish way

And ya thought that you would only, ha

Do it for today

And ya shined 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 stood outside the club

And the rain came down on his head

And it he got all soakin' wet

He says 'Go for yourself'

I said, 'I know'

Show Joe, I ain't conquered yet

And I walk away from the backstreet in the rain

And I saw how many times have I died

Then we turned on outside of the bus shelter

And I jumped on and said, 'Goodbye'

And I shined my glory all around

Did not disguise what I did

Tried to keep it underground but they said

'Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid'

FADES-

You gotta

Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning

Saturday morning

Saturday morning
