jim shepard - astral weeks lyrics

we’re going to do one more song
it’s a very special song, very special song
why is it a special song?
it’s a special song because it’s on the, it’s the first song on the first van morrison album that was released in the united states
ready?
[?]

hopefully we won’t blow it

if i ventured in a slipstream
between the viaducts in your dreams
where an old wheel still is cracked
and the ditch in the back road stops

would you find me?
would you kiss my eyes?
and lay me down in silence easy
to be born again
to be born again

from the far side of the ocean
if i put the wheels in motion
and i stand with my arms behind me
and i’m pushing on the door
pushing on the door, pushing on the door
could you find me?
would you kiss my eyes?
and lay me down, lay me down in silence easy
yeah
to be born again
to be born again

there you go standing, standing with a look of everest
mount everest, you know the faces?
and you’re talking with hewie ledbetter
showing pictures on the wall, pictures on the wall
yeah, you know the pictures on the wall
and you’re whispering in the hall
you’re whispering in the hall
you’re whispering in the hall
in your nice clean spring dress, so clean
i can see the beads of sweat on your neck
i can see the pictures on the wall
i can see you
don’t, don’t point the finger at me

there you go, there you go
standing aside, darling, aside, darling
with your arms, arms behind you
and your eyes before
with your arms behind you, your eyes before
and there you go, and there you go
would you find me?
would you kiss my eyes?
lay me down, lay me down in silence easy
to be born again
to be born again

i’d love to be born again, i’d love to be born again
except if i was born again
i wouldn’t know all these people in this room
wouldn’t know anybody in this room
i’d be 18 years old, it’d be the year 2000

take him and carry your boy
seeing that he’s got clean clothes
putting on his leatherette shoes
seeing that he’s got clean clothes
putting on his leatherette, leatherette shoes
point a finger at me, there’s that finger again
there’s that finger again
point that finger at me again
i didn’t do any of those things you said

they’re standing in your seats
i tried to do my very best
looking straight at you
looking straight at you
looking straight at you
that finger, finger, finger pointed at me
coming, coming through, darling
i’m coming through, coming through
yeah, yeah, yeah

if i ventured in a slipstream
between the viaducts in your dreams
where an old wheel still is cracked
and the ditch in the back road stops
to be born again
to be born again

over and over and over and over
over, to be born again

got a home on high
i’m nothin’ but a stranger in this world
got a home on high
i’m nothin’ but a, nothin’ but a stranger in this world
way up in heaven, way up in heaven
way up in, way up in, way up in, way up in
way up in heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven

would you find me, would you kiss my eyes
lay me down in silence easy
way up in heaven
i’m nothin’ but a stranger in this world
nothin’ but a stranger in this world
nothin’ but a stranger in this world

van morrison
thanks a lot
