These Dreams (Of You) Lyrics


I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
And left me to come through
I headed for there right away
I knew exactly just what to doI dreamed we played cards in the dark
And you lost and you lied
Wasn't very hard to do
But hurt me deep down insideThese dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so trueMy back was up against the wall
And you slowly just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that wayWith my faith against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
And you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sowThese dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you

So real and so trueAnd hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it
Go to sleep, don't ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel
Sent here from aboveAnd Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
Crowd of people gathered 'round
And to the question answered yesYou slapped me on the face
I turned around the other cheek
You couldn't really stand the pace
And I would never be so meekThese dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so trueBut hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it
Go to sleep, don't ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel
Sent here from aboveAnd hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it
Go to sleep, don't ever
Close your eyes

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.
