Van Morrison - High Summer Lyrics
By the mansion on the hillsideRed sports car comes driving down the roadAnd pulls up into the drivewayAnd a story does unfoldShes standing by the rhododendronsWhere the roses are in bloomLooking out at the atlantic oceanAnd in her head she hums this tuneThank God the dark nights are drawing in againcos high summer has got me downIll wait till the end of augustAnd get off this merry-go-roundAnd they shut him out of paradiseCalled him lucifer and frownedShe took pride in what God made himEven before the angels shot him down to the groundHes a light out of the darknessAnd he wears a starry crownIf you see him, nothing will shake himcos high summer has got him low downHigh summers got him lonesomeEyen when he makes the roundsTheres been no two ways about itHigh summers got him low downChecked in to the tiny village by the lakesideSettled down to start a newFar away from the politiciansAnd the many chosen fewFar away trom the jealousy factorAnd everything that was tearing him apartFar away from the organ grinderAnd everyone that played their partAnd they shut him out of paradiseCalled him lucifer and frownedcos he took pride in what God made himEyen before the angels shot him to the groundHes a light out of the darknessAnd he wears a starry crownIf you see him nothings shakencos high summers got him low downHigh summers on the reboundHigh summers got him low downHigh summers on the reboundHigh summers got him down, low downHigh summers on the reboundHigh summers got him low downLow down
