Your Poet-Sage for the Week:

Some songs take you places. Some singers always deliver. Van Morrison has always been that for me. Always a power that speaks to heart and soul, time and space.

Brown Eyed Girl
Words and music by Van Morrison
Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey,
heySkipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin'
and youMy brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mind
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall,
with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember
when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there,
Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
