Van Morrison - The Street Only Knew Your Name lyrics
[Van Morrison - The Street Only Knew Your Name lyrics]
You should always be sure of your street
There's a place in your heart
When you know from the start
You can't be complete without a street
Keep movin' on, through the joy and the pain
Sometimes you gotta look back
To the street again
Would you prefer all those castles in Spain
Or a view of the street
From your window pane?
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
And the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name
Your name
There was Walter and Joy, Katie and Roy
Used to hang out 'round the corner lamplight
Get together sing some songs
Like "Boppin' the Blues" - you
Make me feel alright
That was long before fortune and fame
Nothing to lose and so much to gain
Everyone knew who everyone was
And they knew it because of the street
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
When the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name
Oh your name
And you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
When the street only knew your name
When the street only knew your name
We were singing "Be Bop A Lula"
"Who Slapped John?"
When the street only knew your name
