Van Morrison - Golden Autumn Day Lyrics
Well I heard the bells ringing, I was thinking about winningIn this God forsaken placeWhen my confidence was well, then I tripped and I feltRight flat on my faceNow Im standing erect, and I feel like coming backAnd the sun is shining goldPut a smile on my face, get back in the human raceAnd get on with the showAnd Im taking in the indian summerAnd Im soaking it up in my mindAnd Im pretending that its paradiseOn a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn dayOn a golden autumn day, an a golden autumn dayIn the wee midnight hour I was parking my carIn this dimly lit town,I was attacked by two thugs, who took me for a mugAnd shoved me down on the groundAnd they pulled out a knife, and I fought my way upAs they scarpered from the sceneWell this is no new york street, and theres no bobby on the beatAnd things aint just what they seemAnd Im taking in the indian summerAnd Im soaking it up in my mindAnd Im pretending that its paradiseOn a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn dayOn a golden autumn day, an a golden autumn dayWho would think this could happen in a city like thisAmong blakes green and pleasant hills,And we must remember as we go through septemberAmong these dark satanic millsIf theres such a thing as justice I could take them out and flog themIn the nearest green fieldAnd it might be a lesson to the bleeders of the systemIn this whole societyAnd Im taking in the indian summerAnd Im soaking it up in my mindAnd Im pretending like its paradiseOn a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn dayOn a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day, golden autumn day ...
