A Sense Of Wonder
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison
I walked in my greatcoat
Down through the days of the leaves
No before after, yes after before
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didnt I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
On and on and on and on we kept singing our song
Over newtonards and comber, gransha and the Ballystockart road
With boffyflow and spike
I said I could describe the leaves for samuel and felicity
Rich, red browney, half burnt orange and green
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didnt I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
Its easy to describe the leaves in the autumn
And its oh so easy in the spring
But down through January and February its a very different thing
On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too
I said I could describe the leaves for Samuel and what it means to you and me
You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love philosophy
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didnt I come to lift your fiery vision
Didnt I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame
Wee Alfie at the
Castle picture house on the Castlereagh road
Whistling on the corner next door where
He kept Johnny Mack browns horse
O solo mio by McGimsey
And the man who played the saw
Outside the city hall
Pastie suppers down at Daveys chipper
Gravy rings, barmbracks
Wagon wheels, snowballs
