Lifetimes Lyrics


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 fearsThose lifetimes
So many lifetimes with youThe 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 flowsThose lifetimes
So many lifetimes with youListen 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 clearedThose lifetimes
So many lifetimes with youListen 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?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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.
