Beside You [take 2] Songtext
von Van Morrison

Little Jimmy′s gone
Oh, way out of the backstreet
Out of the window
Into the fallin' rain
And it′s right on time
It's right on time

And that's why Broken Arrow
Waved that finger down the road
So dark and narrow
In the evening
Just before
The Sunday six-bells chime

Yeah, way out on the diamond-studded highway
All the dogs are barking and you wander
And roam from your retreating view
Down below your view


And way out on the railroad
All the tippin′ trucks will unload tomorrow
All the scrapbooks
That you stuck together
With your glue

And I′ll be here to stand beside you
Beside you, ooh child
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
N-never wonder why

Never, never, never, never
Never wonder why at all
And never, never, never
Never wonder why at all
It's gotta be
It has to be

Across the crystal pavement way out in the country
Where you′ll find the hillside mountains roam
The dynamo of your smile
Caress the barefoot virgin child to wander
By your window, in the night-time, across the floor


Are you not knowing what was going on as ecstasy surrounds you
Through the air and past your chimes, open door where
The pointed island breeze
Across the footlands of the brazen silence, easy
Be there in the night, you cry
The spirits that hear you and they'll tell you everything is cool
Go ahead and do it one more time, baby

Yeah, you′re satisfied in this
You hold a lantern in the doorway and you kiss your kiss of freedom
Of your mind and all of it comes in through your nostrils
And you breathe
In, out, in, out
You breathin' out just like that
Say hi to the dipshit when it gets ya
′Cause when it gets ya
You may not know it's got you 'til you turn around
And I′ll point a finger right beside you
Beside you

Oh, child
And never, never, never, never
Never wonder why
It′s gotta be
It has to be
And I'll stand

Never, never, never, never
Never wonder why at all
And never, never, never
Never wonder why at all
It′s gotta be
It has to be
And I'll help
And I′m standing right there beside you
Beside you
Oh, child
