Please welcome backโ
The one and onlyโ
Mr. Van Morrison to Montreux!
ย
Feel like l can't get over
The white cliffs of Dover
When I don't know what to do
Baby, see me through
Well, I've been too long in this storm
It's so sad and forlorn
And perhaps I'm counting on you
Wanna see me through
When I think of that dear rugged cross
Where the dear saviour gave his all
Feel like all romance is gone
See me through
ย
See me through the days of wine and roses
Why don't you see me through one day?
Just one day at a time
When I'm already stoned
Cup is full but it's so empty inside
Why don't you see what you can do?
When you see me through
ย
See me through the days of wine, wine and roses
Oh, won't you see me through one day, one day at a time?
When I'm already gone
My cup is full but it's so empty inside
Why don't you see what you can do?
When you see me through
And let'sโ (someday, one day)
Someday, baby (someday, one day)
(Someday, one day) soldier of fortune
Soldier of fortune
Caught up in a crazy and mixed up world
Have to make my getaway
One day at a time
One day at a time
Soldier of fortune
Caught up in a crazy world
Have to make my getaway
One day at a time
ย
Goin' up that mountainside
Where the water runs crystal clear
Goin' up that mountainside
Where the water runs crystal clear
But down in the city
Down below
I got a house on the hill
Money in the bank
Cars in the driveway
Colored TVs in every room
I got mobile phones
I got computer programs
I got virtual reality
Virtual reality
But I'm still goin' up that mountainside
But down in the city
Down below
ย
Goin' up that mountainside
ย
Where the water runs crystal clear
ย
Turn around
Hand on my shoulder
Turn around
Hand on my shoulder
And you sayin'
You sayin'
You sayin'
I wanna thank you for lettin' me be myself again
I wanna thank you for lettin' me be myself again
I wanna thank you for lettin' me be myself again
I wanna thank you for lettin' me be myself again
I wanna thank you for lettin' me be myself again
(I wanna thank you for lettin' me be myself again, thank you baby)
I wanna thank you for lettin' me be myself again
And then, I'm gonna take you downโ
To the burning ground
And you changed me up
And you turned it around
In the wind and rain
I'm gonna see you again
In the morning sun
And when the day is done
And you take my hand
And you walk with me
And sometimes it feels
Like eternity
And you turn the tide
I get back my pride
And you make me proud
Won't you say it out loud?
When I take you down
To the burning ground
When I take you down, child
To the burning ground
And I take you down
By the factory
And I show you like
It has to be
And you understand, you did
How the work gets done
And I pick up the sack!
In the midday sun
And I pull you through
By the skin of your teeth
And I lift the veil
And see what's underneath
And you return to me!
And I slide on my throne
And you make me feel
Like I'm not alone
On the day I die
To the burning ground, child
Wanna take you down
To the burning ground
ย
And you made me think
What it's all about
Sometimes I know
We gon' work it out
And I watch you run
In the crimson sun
Sell my shadow pipe
Open up my heart
And I watch you run
Down on your bended knees
By the burnt out well
Won't you tell me, please?
Between heaven and hell
When I take you down
To the burning ground
When I take you down, child
To the burning ground
And you kneel and pray
When you hear that sound
Yeah, we're walking back
To the burial mound
And you shake your head
And you turn it around
Can you see the flames
From the burning ground?
ย
And I take the Jute!
And I throw him down
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
And I take the Jute!
And I throw him down
On the burning ground
(The burning ground)
And I take the Jute!
And I throw him down
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground (Mr. Van Morrison!)
On the burning ground
On the burning ground (Mr. Van Morrison!)
On the burning ground (Let me hear you Montreux!)
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground
On the burning ground (Thank you!)
(Mr. Brian Kennedy!)
(Thank you Montreux!)
(Thank you!)
(Van Morrison!)
