Van Morrison - Take Me Back lyrics

I've been walking by the river
I've been walking down by the water
I've been walking down by the river

I've been feeling so sad and blue
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
I've been thinking
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
I've been thinking
Ah there's so much suffering, and it's
Too much confusion, too much
Too much confusion in the world

Take me back, take me back, take me back
Take me way back, take me way back
Take me way back
Take me way back, take me way back
Take me way back
Take me way back, take me way back, ah!
Take me way, way, way, way
Way, way, way back, huh!


Help me unhelp me understand
Take me, do you remember the time darlin'
When everything made more sense in the world
(yeah) oh I remember, I remember
When life made more sense
Ah, ah, take me back, take
Me back, take me back, take me back
Take me back, take me back, take me back
Take me back take me back
(woah) to when the world made more sense
Well there's too much suffering and confusion
And I'm walking down by the river
Oh, let me understand religion
Way, way back, way back
When you walked, in a green field
In a green meadow down an avenue of trees
On a, on a golden summer
And the sky was blue
And you didn't have no worries
You didn't have no care
You were walking in a green field
In a meadow, through the buttercups
In the summertime
And you looked way out over, way out
Way out over the city and the water
And it feels so good, and it feels so good
And you keep on walking

And the music on the radio
And the music on the radio
Has so much soul, has so much soul
And you listen, in the nightime
While we're still and quiet

And you look out on the water
And the big ships, and the big boats
Came on sailing by, by, by, by

And you felt so good, and I felt so good
I felt I wanna blow my harmonica

Take me back, there, take me way back there
Take me back, take me back, take me back
Take me way, way, way back, way back
To when, when I understood
When I understood the light
When I understood the light
In the golden afternoon
In the golden afternoon
In the golden afternoon
In the golden afternoon
In the golden afternoon when we sat
And listened to sonny boy blow

In the golden afternoon when
We sat and let sonny boy, blow, blow his harp

Take me back, take me back, take me back
Take me way, way, way, way, way, way, way
Back when i, when I
Understood, when I understood, yeah
Oh, ah, take me way back
When, when, when, when, when, when
When, when, when, when, when, when, when
I was walking down the
Walking down the street and it didn't matter
'cause everything felt, everything felt
Everything felt
Everything felt, everything felt
Everything felt, everything felt
Everything felt, everything felt, everything
Felt so right, ha
And so good
Everything felt, so right, and so good
Everything felt, so right, and so good
Everything felt, so right, and so good, ah
Everything felt, so right, and so good
Everything felt, so right, and so good
So good
In the eternal now, in the eternal moment
In the eternal now, in the eternal moment
In the eternal now
Everything felt so good, so good
So good, so good, so good
And so right, so right, so right, just
So good, so right, so right, in the eternal
In the eternal moment, in the eternal moment
In the eternal moment, in the eternal moment
When you lived, when you lived
When you lived, in the light
When you lived in the grace
In the grace, in grace
When you lived in the light
In the light, in the grace and the blessing
