Sweet Thing

Van Morrison

1. 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

2. 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

3. 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....
