Cleaning Windows (Live) Lyrics by Van Morrison

Live at the Grand Opera House Belfast

0

[Verse 1]
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
Got in my nose
As we carried our ladders down the street
With the wrought-iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers
In my lunch break
Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work

[Verse 2]
Oh, Sam was up on top
I was on the bottom with the V
Went for lemonade and Paris buns
At the shop and broke for tea
I collected from the lady
And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
Oh, I was blowing saxophone on the weekеnd
In that down joint

[Chorus]
What's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Well, I takе my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
When I'm cleaning windows

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon
On the street where I was born
Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee
Muddy Waters singin' "I'm A Rolling Stone"
I went home
Read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat
Kerouac's "Dharma Bums" and "On the Road"

[Chorus]
Tell me, what's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Well, I take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
When I'm cleaning windows
Say it again
What's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Well, I take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
When I'm (Cleaning windows)

[Outro]
When I'm
When I'm (Cleaning windows)
When I'm cleaning
Cleaning windows
When I'm cleaning windows
Just find her a [?] on a 3-D [?] windowsill
[?], better hurry up
If we don't get finished, we have to go down on the [?]
Cleaning windows
Cleaning windows
