Van Morrison - Summertime in England lyrics

Can you meet me in the country
In the summertime in England
Will you meet me?
Will you meet me in the country
In the summertime in England
Will you meet me?
We'll go riding up to Kendal in the country
In the summertime in England
Did you ever hear about
Did you ever hear about
Did you ever hear about
Wordsworth and Coleridge, baby?
Did you ever hear about
Wordsworth and Coleridge?
They were smokin' up in Kendal
By the lakeside can you meet me in the
Country in the long grass
In the summertime in England
Will you meet me with your red robe dangling
All around your body
With your red robe dangling


All around your body will you meet me
Did you ever hear about william Blake
T s eliot in the summer
In the countryside they were smokin'
Summertime in England
Won't you meet me down Bristol
Meet me along by Bristol
We'll go ridin' down down by Avalon
Down by Avalon down by Avalon
In the countryside in England
With your red robe danglin' all
Around your body free let your red robe go
Goin' ridin' down by Avalon
Would you meet me in the country
In the summertime in England
Would you meet me? In the Church of St john
Down by Avalon holy magnet
Give you attraction
Yea, I was attracted to you
Your coat was old, ragged and worn
And you wore it down through the ages
Ah, the sufferin' did show in
Your eyes as we spoke and the gospel music
The voice of Mahalia Jackson
Came through the ether
Oh my common one with the coat so old
And the light in the head
Said, daddy, don't stroke me
Call me the common one
I said, oh, common one, my illuminated one
Oh my high in the art of sufferin' one
Take a walk with me
Take a walk with me down by Avalon
Oh, my common one with the coat so old
And the light in her head
And the sufferin' so fine
Take a walk with me down by Avalon
And I will show you it ain't why, why, why
It just is would you meet me in the country
Can you meet me in the long grass
In the country in the summertime
Can you meet me in the long grass
Wait a minute with your red robe
Danglin' all around your body
Yeats and Lady Gregory corresponded
And James Joyce wrote streams
Of consciousness books
TS eliot chose England
TS eliot joined the ministry
Did you ever hear about
Wordsworth and Coleridge?
Smokin' up in Kendal
They were smokin' by the lakeside
Let your red robe go
Let your red robe dangle in
The countryside in England
We'll go ridin' down by Avalon
In the country in the summertime
With you by my side let your red robe go
You'll be happy dancin' let your red robe go
Won't you meet me down by Avalon
In the summertime in England
In the Church of St john
Did you ever hear about Jesus walkin'
Jesus walkin' down by Avalon?
Can you feel the light in England?
Can you feel the light in England?
Oh, my common one with the light in her head
And the coat so old
And the sufferin' so fine
Take a walk with me oh, my common one
Oh, my illuminated one down by Avalon
Oh, my common one oh, my storytime one
Oh, my treasury in the sunset
Take a walk with me and I will show you
It ain't why it just is
Oh, my common one with the light in the head
And the coat so old
Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one
Oh, my common one take a walk with me
Down by Avalon and I will show you
It ain't why it just is
Oh, my common one with the light in her head
And the coat so fine
And the sufferin' so high all right now
Oh, my common one it ain't why
It just is that's all
That's all there is about it it just is
Can you feel the light?
I want to go to church and say in your soul
Ain't it high? Oh, my common one
Oh, my storytime one
Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one
Put your head on my shoulder
And you listen to the silence
Can you feel the silence?
