Joe Harper, Saturday Morning - Van Morrison

Well you thought I was a stranger when you looked upon me, when I came by But to take you from disaster I cannot master, (the four winds… shy? ? ?)

And the roamin in the gloamin you have brought, and set before me And I think that its an omen, Im just not what so many people see.

And you shine your glory all around

Do not disguise what we did

I asked you for half a pound, and you said —

Go see joe harper, saturday morning, kid

Go see joe harper, saturday morning, kid.

And the child held a ball in the garden, with the old queen

And you kissed the lips and heart in all the (stranger?), you know what I mean

And you walked on in the streets all lonely, in your own childish way

And you thought that you would only — do it for today.

And you shine your glory all around

Do not disguise what we did

I asked you for half a pound, and you said —

Go see joe harper, saturday morning, kid

Go see joe harper, saturday morning, kid.

And just went outside the club and the rain came down on his head and it got

all soaking wet.

He said go for yourself, I said I know, sure joe, I aint conquered yet

And I walked away from the backstreets and the rain, and the (song?

), how many times have I died?

And we turned on outside of the bus shelter and I jumped on and said «goodbye.»

And I shine my glory all around

Do not disguise what I did

Tried to keep it underground and they said —

Go see joe harper, saturday morning, kid

You gotta, go see joe harper, saturday morning, saturday morning…
