Cleaning Windows lyrics
Van Morrison
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
Got in my nose, yeah
As we carried our ladders down the street
With the wrought iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers
In my lunch break
Bought five woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work
Oh, Sam was up on top
And I was on the bottom with the V
We went for lemonade and Paris burns
At the shop and broke for tea, watch out
I collected from the lady
And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend
In that down joint
What's my line?
I'm happy cleanin' windows
Take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleanin' windows
Number 36
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon
On the street where I was born, yeah
Sonny Terry, Brownie Mcghee
And Muddy Waters singin' "I'm a rollin' stone"
I went home
And read my Christmas Humphrey's book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat
Kerouac's "Dharma bums" and "On the road"
What's my line?
I'm happy cleanin' windows, yes
Take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleanin' windows
Take it
What's my line?
I'm happy cleanin' windows
Well, I take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleanin' windows
Alright, cleanin' windows
What you say, number?
Number 126
Alright, we'll be ready tomorrow
I'm cleanin' windows
All happy cleanin' windows, alright
Down To Joy lyrics
Went to sleep last night
I had a kind of dream, for sure
When I woke up in the morning
Felt like I was coming down to joy
What did I see, what did I hear
When I was coming down
Had a brand new story
When I was coming down to joy
Felt so good, gratitude
When I was coming down
Something quite, quite profound
That I cried out loud
I had a brand new story (brand new story)
I was coming down to joy
She was standing there before me (there before me)
When I was coming down, down, down
[Instrumental break]
Felt so good, gratitude
When I was coming down
It was something quite profound
(It was something quite profound)
That I cried out loud
I had a brand new story (brand new story)
Coming down to joy
Man I felt the glory (felt the glory)
When I was coming down to joy
She was standing there before me (there before me)
When I was coming down
I said I do adore thee (I adore you)
When I was coming down to joy
What vision was before me (was before me)
When I was coming down
It was just around the corner (round the corner)
When I was coming down to joy
Coming down, coming down to joy (Coming down to joy)
Coming down to joy
Coming down, coming down to joy (Coming down to joy)
Coming down to joy
