Flamingoes Fly Lyrics


Lie by my side in the still of the night
And morning brings forth all its wondrous delight
You couldn't have made it more plain
When I hear that soft refrain and I hear you gently sighI wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos flyLie in the dark with the sweet sound of the nightingale
And listen for lark and I will tell you a tale
Soft winds blowin', blowin' outside
I wanna take that moonlight ride, when I hear you gently sighI wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder, yeah in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos flySilently waiting for that morning light to shine
Yeah, and I'm looking at you, looking at me
And I'm looking at you and anticipating
Each and every, each and every signAnd I'm looking at you, looking at me
And I'm looking at you, looking at me
Looking at you, looking at me, looking at youI follow the road that will take me, take me back home
And carry that load where the deer and the provincial angels roam
Your happiness touching me now

Who knows where it came from and how, but
When I hear you gently sighI wanna, wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly, flamingos flyWay over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly, you see those flamingos fly
Ya see those, ya see those, ya see those
Ya see those, ya see those, ya see those flamingos flyLook over yonder, look over yonder, darling
Look over yonder, darling
Ya take it by the ocean, ya take it, ya take it by the ocean

George Ivan Morrison (generally known as Van Morrison) (born 31 August 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since 1958. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll.

Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, writing their 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career, starting with the album Astral Weeks.

Morrison has pursued an idiosyncratic musical path. Much of his music is tightly structured around the conventions of American soul and R&B, such as the popular singles "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Domino", and "Wild Night". An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as his classic album Astral Weeks and lesser known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic Soul," and Morrison rejects the characterization of his genre of music as Rock, citing Elvis Presley as a non-influence.

He continues to perform regularly, and achieved his highest U.S. chart position (number ten on the Billboard 200) with his latest album, Keep It Simple.
