Beside You [take 5] Songtext
von Van Morrison

One, two, three, four

Little Jimmy′s gone way out of the backstreet
Way out of the window
Into the fallin' rain
Down he′s right on time
Right on time

That's why Broken Arrow
Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow
In the evenin'
Just before the Sunday six-bells chime, yeah

And all the dogs are barkin′
Way on down the diamond-studded highway
Where you wander
And you roam from your retreat and view

Way over on the railroad
All the tippin′ trucks will unload
Together on the scrapbooks
That you laid down stuck will glue


And I'll stand beside you
Beside you
Oh, child
Never, never, never wonder why at all, no

Never, never, never, never, never wonder why at all
To never, never, never, never, never wonder why at all
Why it′s gotta be
And I'm hip to it

Across the crimson pavements way out in the country
Where you′ll find the hillside mountains glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child
To wander by your window in nighttime, cross the sad
You didn't believe it when you had to
His ecstasy surrounds you

Through the night they all past your time
You go away or you go so
The point way of island breeze
I cut the foot left′s of the silence easy and be there

In the night you cried this birds are healing
They tell you that everything is alright
Go well and do it one more time, babe
And you say that you're satisfied


You hold a lamp in the doorway and you killed your freedom
The freedom kills, on your mind
The night they caught you to your knot
And then you breathe in-out, in-out
You breathe just like that, you said, "How?"
And then it get you with you, gets you
And when it gets you may not know it's got you
′Til you turn around and tap me on the shoulder
And I′m standin' right beside you

Beside you
Oh, child
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
Never, never

To never, never, never, never, never wonder why at all
Never, never, never, never wonder why at all
It′s gonna be
It's gonna be
And I′ll stand there beside you
Beside you
Child

To never, never, never, never, never wonder why at all
Where did you go?
While I'm standin′ beside you
My, my sweet
My sweet eyes, my sweet love
My sweet meat, yeah
Standin' right beside you
