Beside You lyrics
by Van Morrison
Little jimmy's gone way out of the back streetsOut of the window, into the falling rain,And he's right on time, right on time.That's why broken arrow waved his fingerDown the road so dark and narrowIn the evening just before the sunday sixbells chimeAnd way out on the highwayAll the dogs are barkin' way down belowAnd you wander away from your hillside retreated viewWent to wanderin' nordhbridge way out on the railroadTogether all the tipping trucks will unloadAll the scrapbooks built together stuck with glueAnd I'll stand beside you, beside youOh child, to never wonder whyTo never, never, never, never wonder why at allTo never, never, never, never wonder whyIt's gotta be, it has to beAcross the crystal pavementsWay across the country where the hillside mountains glideThe dynamo of your smile caressed theBarefoot virgin childTo wander past your window in the nighttime cross the floorCrying as ecstasy surrounds youThrough the night air your proud time is openGo well against the pointed idle breezePast the footlights of the brazen silence easyIn the night you cry and you want spirits to tell youEverything's alrightGo ahead and do it one more time babyYou're satisfied I guess, you're way up and the sky comes downKaleidoscopeOpen and just hold the lantern in the doorway,For the freedom of it.And you take the night air through your nostrils and you breatheIn out, in outAnd you breathe just like that, just like thatHow does it get you when it gets youWhen it gets yaYou may not know it's got you until you turn aroundAnd I'll point a finger at you, point a finger at youYou say which way, which wayThat's alright, we've gotten hip to itGoin' to do it right now.Behind youBeside you, beside youOh child to never wonder whyTo never, never, never, never wonder why at allNever never never never wonder why at all.
