Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Troubadours

From the ancient sun to the old heart stove come the troubadours

From the city gates to the castle walls it's the troubadours

On a sunlit day it was bright and clear

And the people came from far and they came from near

To hear the troubadours

Well the troubadours sang their songs of love to the lady fair

She was sitting outside on a balcony in in the cool night air

It was a starry night the moon was shining bright

And the trumpets rang and they gave a chime

For the troubadours

And for everyman all across the land and from shore to shore

They came singin' songs of love and chivalry from the days of yore

Baby lift your window high do you hear that sound

It's the troubadours as they go through town

Baby lift your window high do you hear that sound

It's the troubadours with their freedom song

Lift your window high turn your lamp down low baby

Don't you know I love you so

Lift your window high do you dig that sound

It's the troubadours coming through town
