Into The Mystic by Van Morrison
/“Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic”
“Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic”
“Out of my crate dust off my name
Get out a good pair of shoes
Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you
Lay in the park, smoke in the dark
Get high like I used to do
Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you
Feelin’ the breeze, take it with ease
Shake out the big city blues
Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you
Grow out my hair, go anywhere
Sleepin’ until afternoon
Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you”
“The night we broke out
Neighborhood penitentiary
We drove to the coast and
Laughed for a century
You sunk your feet
In the empty beach
And took off all your clothes
Said “I’m never going home now
Who’s gonna tell me no”
Freedom ain’t it frightening
Like swimming in the lightning
Deadly but delighting
Lips against the sky now
So bold”
“Everybody’s leaving soon
I can hear that rambling tune
From the pool hall or any shopping mall
We’re going crazy as a loon
Tell me where we’re gonna go
Where there’s no sorrow, there’s no snow
Pack your suitcase light, we’re gonna leave tonight
’Cause I think I might just know
Oh if I lose it
I’m gonna move it
Down to the Keys”
“i feel you, motion animal
i’m tired, you’re taking all control
you got me losin’, groovin’, and movin’ what i won’t
damn you, it’s unbelievable
no more crying, not wasting anymore
go on and yell something, be walking out the door
you got me movin’, i’m changing my address
to shake something stinky, you’ll never get the rest
go tell it on the mountain that i’m moving, ‘cause i’m on fire”
“Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won’t feel so afraid
I will try to understand
Either way”
“I’m goin’ way down south where the big blue agave grow
Takin’ a weekend trip down to Baja, Mexico
Where you can drink the water, but don’t ya eat the ice
Take your vitamin “T” with salt ‘n lemon slice”
“I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take ‘em
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame I’m looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now
I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown”
“A race is on I’m on your side
And hearing you my engines die
I’m in a mood for you
For running away”
“And I held the breath inside my lungs for days
And I saw myself as one of many waves
And when I knew I’d become the ocean’s slave
I just stayed”
“Up and early for the hope of a brand new day
See a homie you ain’t seen since back in the day
Fresh haircut fitted with a fat-ass fade
End of work, we chilling on a Saturday
How you felt when you first heard the Daddy Kane
Rakim, KRS - hey I had that tape
Cooling out with ol’ girl on a fat-ass date
Find a hundred dollar bill wow man that’s great
Get promoted at your job up to management
Plot a long time finally a plan has made it
Sometimes I feel I wanna shout, man it’s real that way
When I think of things that make you feel that way”
“And we’ll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we’ll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again”
“I’m not talkin’ ‘bout retreatin’ little girl
Gonna take our stand, in this Chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holdin’ hands, all the way to Dixieland
We’ve been tryin’ to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids, it’s been wearin’ us down
Don’t turn away now Darlin’ lets fire it up and wind it out
Come on Baby drive south, with the one you love
Come on Baby drive south, with the one you love”
“Well I’m not a preacher
I’m not a politician
If I reach ya
It’s cause ya happen to listen
I’m just a guy with a guitar
singing a song for you
I’m just a man with a musical vibration flowing through”
“Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin’
Somewhere beyond the sea
She’s there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I’d go sailing”
“But how can you stay, when your heart says no
How can you stop when your feet say go”
“Time never cares, if you’re there or not there
All you ever needed was a simple plan
But you’re doing well, I mean you’re not dead
So let’s celebrate while we still can
I know what they say, I could give a care
They talk so much on me, I must be doing something right
I saw my son today, in the likeness of a full grown man
So I’ll celebrate while I still can”
“In Santa Barbara, Hannah cried
”I miss those freezing beaches,”
I walked into town
To buy some kindling for the fire,
Hannah tore the New York Times up into pieces”
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
“Jumpin’ off the porch like mom’s not home
Tell me why the best things feel so wrong
Summer nights,
Love ‘em how they take so long
Run with the feeling
of being alive while we’re still young”
