Sweet thing

Sweet thing :: Waterboys



(Van Morrison, John Lennon)



And I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first

and I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst

And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they'll get high

on a blue ocean, against tomorrow's sky



And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain

and I will never grow so old again

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing

my, my, my, my, my sweet thing



And I will stroll the merry ways and jump the hedges first

and I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst

And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they'll get high

on a blue ocean against tomorrow's sky



And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain

and never ever ever ever ever get so old again



Ooh...

sweet thing

My my my...



And I shall drive my chariot down your streets and cry

"Hey, it's me! I'm dynamite and I don't know why"

And you shall take me warm in your arms again

and I will not remember that I ever felt the pain



And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain

and never ever ever ever ever get so old again



Ooh

sweet thing

Yeah yeah yeah...

sweet thing

My my my...



And I will raise my hand up into the night time sky

and count the stars there shining in your eyes

Just to dig it all an' not to wonder, that's just fine

and I'll be satisfied not to read in between the lines



And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain

and never ever ever ever ever get so old again



Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes

and your saint-like smile....



Blackbird singing in the dead of night

blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take this broken wing and learn to fly

all your life you were just waiting for this moment to arrive

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

take your sunken eyes, learn to see

All your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free...
