Van Morrison - Glad Tidings lyrics

And they'll lay you down, low and easy
And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas
And the miles that you traveled the distance

So believe no lies dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la

And the business will shake hands
And talk in numbers
And the princess will wake
Up from her slumber
Then all the knights will step
Forth with their arm bands
And every stranger you meet in
The street will make demands

So believe no lies
Then dry your eyes and realize that surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la

And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes so you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come right in on time, oh

And they'll talk to you
While you're in trances
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace
And persuasion
And expect them to rise for the occasion

Don't it gratify when you see it materialize
Right in front of your eyes by surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la mmm mmm

And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes so you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come right in on time
Woah

And they'll lay you down, low and easy
