A sense of wonder lyrics

Artist  : Van morrison 
Song : A sense of wonder
 
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.

Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn’t I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didn’t 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.

Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn’t I come to lift your fiery vision bright
Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder in
the flame.

It’s easy to describe the leaves in the autumn
And it’s oh so easy in the spring
But down through january and february it’s 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.

Didn’t I come to bring you a sense of wonder
Didn’t I come to lift your fiery vision
Didn’t 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 brown’s horse.
O solo mio by mcgimsey
And the man who played the saw
Outside the city hall.
Pastie suppers down at davey’s chipper
Gravy rings, barmbracks
Wagon wheels, snowballs.
