A Sense of Wonder (Alternate Take) Lyrics by Van Morrison

A Sense of Wonder

0

[Verse 1]
I walked in my greatcoat down through the days of the leaves
On and on and on and on, no after before
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame
[Chorus]
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder? (Listen)
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright? (Alright)
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder of the flame, child?
[Verse 2]
On and on and on we keep on singing our song
All across Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road
Beside the waterfall, oh up on the Creaghy Glens
No before after and, and yes after before (What's that?)
[Chorus]
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
Hey, didn't I come to lift my fiery vision bright?
Oh, didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame, child?
[Bridge]
Oh, you never came too soon
We kept both running in the afternoon
You were here with the name of the flame, child
[Verse 3]
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Down through the days of leaves
Oh, and I'm describing the various colours for Samuel and Felicity and me
I walked in my greatcoat on down the avenue
And I saw it shone in the heaven in the afternoon
[Chorus]
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
Oh, didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame, child?
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
Oh, didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
Oh, didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder of the same?
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
Oh, didn't I come to lift my fiery vision bright?
Oh, didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the eternal flame, child?
Oh, didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
Oh, didn't I come to lift my fiery vision bright?
Oh, didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame, child?
