VAN MORRISON lyrics - Street Choir

Street Choir

Sing me the song for the new day

Don't make it long

And remember to sing it the old way



Let it all out

Let your voice ring in the street, now

My fun

Shall be this one to complete, now



Why did you leave America?

Why did you let me down?

And now that things seem better off

Why do you come around?



You know I just can't see you, now

(See you now)

In a-my, in a-my, new world crystal ball

You know I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

That's a-not my job at all



Move it on up

Move it on up by the window, move it on

A magnificent flow

Lord, let it all grow in the moonglow



I'll take the wine

I'll take the wine with the gravy

I'll ask you the time

And just send the bill, to my baby



Why did you leave America?

Why did you let me down?

And now that things seem better off

Why do you come around?



You know I just can't see you, now

(See you now)

In a-my, in a-my, in a-my

New world crystal ball



You know I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

That's a-not my job at all



[Instrumental & harmonica]



Why did you leave America?

Why did you let me down?

And now that things seem better off

Why do you come around?



You know I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

In a-my, in a-my, in a-my

New world crystal ball



You know, you know, you know

I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

That's not my job at all



You know, you know, you know

I just can't free you, now

(Free you now)

That's not my job at all



[Fades]

You know, you know, you know

I just can't free you, now

(Free you now).
