Van Morrison - Tore Down a la Rimbaud lyrics
[Van Morrison - Tore Down a la Rimbaud lyrics]
Showed me pictures in the gallery
Showed me novels on the shelf
Put my hands across the table
Gave me knowledge of myself
Showed me visions, showed me nightmares
Gave me dreams that never end
Showed me light out of the tunnel
When there was darkness all around instead
I was just tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my message would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime
You know it's hard sometime
Showed me ways and means and motions
(Show me)
Showed me what it's like to be (Show me)
Gave me days of deep devotions
Showed me things I cannot see
When I was tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my purpose would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime
You know it's hard sometime
Showed me different shapes and colours
(Show me)
Showed me many different roads (Show me)
Gave me very clear instructions
When I was in the dark night of the soul
When I was tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my writing would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime
You know it's hard sometime (Let's sing)
Tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my writing would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime
You know it's hard sometime
Hard sometime (You know it's hard sometime)
Tore down (Uh huh, torn down) a la Rimbaud
A la Rimbaud
(Uh huh, you know it's hard sometime)
I was tore down (Tore down) a la Rimbaud
(Uh huh, you know it's hard sometime)
A la Rimbaud (Tore down, uh huh, Torn down)
Showed me novels on the shelf
Put my hands across the table
Gave me knowledge of myself
Showed me visions, showed me nightmares
Gave me dreams that never end
Showed me light out of the tunnel
When there was darkness all around instead
I was just tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my message would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime
You know it's hard sometime
Showed me ways and means and motions
(Show me)
Showed me what it's like to be (Show me)
Gave me days of deep devotions
Showed me things I cannot see
When I was tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my purpose would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime
You know it's hard sometime
Showed me different shapes and colours
(Show me)
Showed me many different roads (Show me)
Gave me very clear instructions
When I was in the dark night of the soul
When I was tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my writing would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime
You know it's hard sometime (Let's sing)
Tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my writing would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime
You know it's hard sometime
Hard sometime (You know it's hard sometime)
Tore down (Uh huh, torn down) a la Rimbaud
A la Rimbaud
(Uh huh, you know it's hard sometime)
I was tore down (Tore down) a la Rimbaud
(Uh huh, you know it's hard sometime)
A la Rimbaud (Tore down, uh huh, Torn down)
