Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Lifetimes

You sit in silence

And the river answers

And I have loved you many, many years

I saw you standing by the wondrous river

And I have come today

To calm your fears

Those lifetimes

So many lifetimes

With you

The boatman singin' far across the water

What is this feelin' in my heart and soul

The nighttime angel spreads her wings around me

And I feel the sadness

And the river flows

Those lifetimes

So many lifetimes

With you

Listen to the music inside

That is all that you have to do

Listen to the music inside

Can't you hear what it says to you

And I shall get to know you

In these lifetimes

In awe and wonder

On down through the years

The nighttime angel spreads her wings around me

I feel the silence

And my doubts are cleared

Those lifetimes

So many lifetimes

With you

Listen to the music inside

That is all that you have to do

Listen to the music inside

Can't you hear what it says to you

Listen to the music inside

That is all that you have to do

Listen to the music inside

Can't you hear what it says to you

Listen, listen listen...

Can't you hear what it says to you

That is all that you have to do

Listen to the music inside
