Got to Go Back - Van Morrison

When I was a young boy

Back in orangefield

I used to gaze out

My classroom window and dream

And then go home and listen to ray sing

«i believe to my soul"after school,

Oh that love that was within me You know it carried me through

Well it lifted me up and it filled me Meditation contemplation too

Oh weve got to go back

Got to go back

Got to go back

Got to go back

For the healing go on with the dreaming

Well theres people in the street

And the summers almost here

Weve got to go outside in the fresh air

And breathe while its still clear

Breathe it in all the way down

To your stomach too

And breathe it out with a radiance

Into the nightime air

Weve got to go back etc. etc…

Got my ticket at the airport

Well I guess Ive been marking time

Ive been living in another country

That operates along entirely different lines

Keep me away from porter or whiskey

Dont play anything sentimental itll make me cry

Ive got to go back my friend

Is there really any need to ask why

Weve got to go back etc. etc…
