Bedside You Songtext
von Van Morrison

Little Jimmy's gone
Away out of the back street out of the window
In to the falling rain
And it's right on time
Right on time

That's why broken arrow
Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow in the evening
Just before the Sunday six-bell chime

Way out on the highway
Where the dogs are barking way down below
And you wonder away from your hillside
Retreating view

Would you often away on the railroad
Together on the tipping trucks will unload
On scrapbooks, we're together
Stuck with glue
And I'll stand beside you
Beside you
Oh, child


To never never never wonder why
To never, never, wonder why at all
To never, never, never, wonder why at all
It's gotta be, it has to be

Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander
Past your window with the lantern lit
You held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed island breeze
Said your time was open, go away along your merry way
Past the brazen footlits of the silence easy
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out

And you're high on your high-flying cloud
Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you
This time it's found you
You turn around
You turn around
You turn around
You turn around
And I'm beside you
Beside you


Oh darling
To never never wonder why at all
No, no, no, no, no
To never never never wonder why at all
To never never never wonder why it's got to be
It has to be
And I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh child
To never never wonder why at all
I'm beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Ooooh, oooh
Child
