Flamingos Fly Lyrics by Van Morrison

A Period of Transition

0

[Verse 1]
Go for a ride
In the still of the night
And morning brings forth
All its wonderful delight
Couldn't have made it more plain
When I hear that soft refrain
And I hear you gently sigh

[Chorus]
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly

[Verse 2]
Lie in the dark
With the sweet sound of the nightingale
Listen for a lark
I will tell you a tale
Breeze is blowin', blowin' outside
Wanna take that moonlight ride
When I heard you gently sigh

[Chorus]
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly

[Bridge]
Well, we're here and we're waiting
For that morning light to shine
And I'm looking at you, looking at me
Looking right back at you
And I'm anticipating
Signs along the way
Looking at you, looking at me
Looking right back at you (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3]
I follow the road
That will take me, take me right back home
And carry that load
Where the deer and the provincial angels roam
Happiness touches, touches me now
I know where it came from and how
When I heard you gently sigh

[Chorus]
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly, flamingos fly

[Outro]
Way over the rooftops of the houses (Way over yonder in the clear blue sky)
Oh yeah (Flamingos fly, flamingos fly)
I heard it one time, I heard it one time (Way over yonder in the clear blue sky)
In a lullaby (Flamingos fly, flamingos fly)
I heard it one time, I heard it one time (Way over yonder in the clear blue sky)
In a lullaby (Flamingos fly, flamingos fly)
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere (Way over yonder in the clear blue sky)
Way over the rooftops of the houses (Flamingos fly, flamingos fly)
(Way over yonder in the clear blue sky)
Heard it one time in a lullaby (Flamingos fly, flamingos fly)
Heard it one time (Way over yonder in the clear blue sky)
Heard it one time in a lullaby (Flamingos fly, flamingos fly)
(Way over yonder in the clear blue sky) Oh
