Beside You

Van Morrison

Little Jimmys gone way out of the back streets
Out of the window, into the falling rain
And hes right on time, right on time
Thats why broken arrow waved his fingerDown 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 belowAnd 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 Ill stand beside you, beside youOh child to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
To never, never, never, never wonder why
Its gotta be, it has to beAcross the crystal pavements
Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the
Barefoot virgin childTo 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 breezePast the footlights of the brazen silence easy
In the night you cry and you want spirits to tell you
Everythings alright
Go ahead and do it one more time baby
Youre satisfied I guess
Youre way up and the sky comes down
KaleidoscopeOpen 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 thatHow does it get you when it gets you
When it gets ya
You may not know its got you until you turn around
And Ill point a finger at you, point a finger at youYou say which way, which way
Thats alright, weve gotten hip to it
Goin to do it right now
Behind you, beside you, beside youOh child to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
Never, never, never, never wonder why at all
