Wild Children Songtext
von Van Morrison

We were the wild children
Born 1945
When all the soldiers came marching home
Love looks in their eyes
In their eyes

Tennessee, Tennessee Williams
Oh, let your inspiration flow
Let it be around when we hear the sound
Of the springtime rivers flow
Rivers flow

And Rod Steiger and Marlon Brando
Standing with their heads bowed on the side
Cryin′ like a baby thinkin' ′bout the time
James Dean took that fatal ride
Took that ride


Tennessee Williams
Let your inspiration flow
Let it be around when we hear the sound
When the springtime, springtime rivers flow, rivers flow

Steiger and Marlon Brando
With their heads bowed on the side
Cryin' like a baby thinkin' ′bout the time
James Dean took that fatal ride
Took that ride

And we were the wild children
19, 1945
When all the soldiers came marching home from war
With love looks, love looks in their eyes, in their eyes

In their eyes
In their eyes
In their eyes.
