Van Morrison Queen of the Slipstream song lyrics

You're the queen of the slipstream with eyes that shine

You have crossed many waters to be here

You have drank of the fountain of innocence

And experienced the long cold wintry years

There's a dream where the contents are visible

Where the poetic champions compose

Will you breathe not a word of this secrecy?

Will you still be my special rose?

Goin' away far across the sea

But I'll be back for you

I'll tell you everything I know

Baby, everything is true

Will the blush still remain on your cheeks, my love?

In the light, in the light always seen in your head?

Gold and sliver they placed at your feet, my dear

But I know you chose me instead, alright

Girl I'm goin' away far across the sea

But I'll be back for you

Tell you everything I know

Baby, everything is true

You're the Queen of the slipstream, I love you so

You have crossed many waters to be here

And you drink, and you drink at the fountains of innocence

An experience you know very well

You're the Queen, you're the Queen

You're the Queen, you're the Queen

You're the Queen, you're the Queen

You're the Queen, you're the Queen

You're the Queen, you're the Queen
