Tore Down a La Rimbaud Songtext
von Van Morrison

Showed me pictures in the gallery
Showed me novels on the shelf
Put my hands across the table
Gave me knowledge of myself
Showed me visions, showed me nightmares
Gave me dreams that never end
Showed me light out of the tunnel
When there was darkness all around instead

Tore down a la rimbaud
And I wish my message would come
Tore down a la rimbaud, you know it′s hard some time
You know it's hard some time

Showed me ways and means and motions
Showed me what it′s like to be
Gave me days of deep devotions

Showed me things I cannot see


Tore down a la rimbaud
And I wish my purpose would come
Tore down a la rimbaud, you know it's hard some time
You know it's hard some timeotore doen sotinf

Showed me different shapes and colours
Showed me many different roads
Gave me very clear instructions
When I was in the dark night of the soul

When I was

Tore down a la rimbaud
And I wish my writing would come
Tore down a la rimbaud, you know it′s hard some time
You know it′s hard some
You know it's hard Some time

Tore down a la rimbaud
And I wish my writing has come

Tore down a la rimbaud
You know it′s hard Some time
You know it's hard Some time

Hard Some time
Soul the house
