Van Morrison Golden Autumn Day song lyrics

Well I heard the bells ringing, I was thinking about winning

In this God forsaken place

When my confidence was well

Then I tripped and I felt

Right flat on my face

Now I'm standing erect

And I feel like coming back

And the sun is shining gold

Put a smile on my face

Get back in the human race

And get on with the show

And I'm taking in the indian summer

And I'm soaking it up in my mind

And I'm pretending that it's paradise

On a golden autumn day

On a golden autumn day

On a golden autumn day

On a golden autumn day

In the wheemidnight hour I was parking my car in this dimly lit town

I was attacked by two thugs,

who took me for a must and shoved me down on the ground

And they pulled out a knife,

and I fought my way up as they scarpered from the scene

Well this is no New York street,

and there's no bobby on the beat and things ain't just what they seem

And I'm taking in the indian summer

And I'm soaking it up in my mind

And I'm pretending that it's paradise

On a golden autumn day

On a golden autumn day

On a golden autumn day

On a golden autumn day

Who would think this could happen in a city like this?

Among blake's green and pleasant hills

But we must remember as we go through

September among these dark satanic mills

If there's such a thing as justice I could take

them out and flog them in the nearest green field

And it might be a lesson to the

bleeders of the system in this whole society

And I'm taking in the indian summer

And I'm soaking it up in my mind

And I'm pretending like

It's paradise

On a golden autumn day

On a golden autumn day

Ohw on a golden autumn day

"Alright"

On a golden autumn day

"Sing it, sing it"

Golden autumn day

"Sing it, sing it"

Golden autumn day

"Sing it, sing it, sing it"

Golden autumn day

On a golden autumn day
