Van Morrison – Sweet Thing: Lyrics and Music Video

Sweet Thing Lyrics

And i will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And i will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And i shall watch the ferry-boats

And they’ll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow’s sky
And i will never grow so old again
And i will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And i shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
‘hey, it’s me, i’m dynamite
And i don’t know why’
And you shall take me strongly

In your arms again
And i will not remember
That i even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And i will never, never, never
Grow so old again.

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And i will raise my hand up
Into the night time sky
And count the stars
That’s shining in your eye

Just to dig it all an’ not to wonder
That’s just fine
And i’ll be satisfied
Not to read in between the lines
And i will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain

And i will never, ever, ever, ever
Grow so old again.
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes
And your saint-like smile….
