Testo Madame George - Van Morrison
Testo della canzone Madame George (Van Morrison), tratta dall'album Astral Weeks (Expanded Edition)
Down Cypress Avenue
With a childlike vision slipping into view
The clicking clacking of a high heel shoe
Fudd and Fitzroy and Madame George
Marching with a soldier boy behind
He's much older now with hat on drinking wine
And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through
On a cool night like Shalimar
And outside they're making all the stops
Kids out in the street collecting bottle tops
Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
Happy taking Madame George
Oh, that's when you fall
Oh, that's when you fall
Yeah, that's when you fall
When you fall into a trance
Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms and history books you glance
Into the eyes of Madame George
And you think you've found the bag
You get weaker and your knees begin to sag
In a corner playing dominoes and drag
The one and only Madame George
And from outside the frosty window wraps
She jumps up and says "Lord have mercy I think that it's the cops"
And immediately drops everything she got
Down into the street below
And you know you gotta go
On a train from Dublin up to Sandy Row
Throwing pennies at the bridges down below
In the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
And as you leave the room is filled with music
Laughing music, dancing music all around the room
And all the boys come around
Walking away from it all so cool
And as you're about to leave
The doorman says "Hey love, you forgot your glove"
And the love that loves the love that loves the
Love that loves the love that loves the love that
Loves the love that loves the love that loves
Say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Say goodbye in the wind and the rainIn the back street
Say goodbye to Madame Joy
In the back street
Down home
Down home in the back street
Gotta go
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
Say goodbye to Madame Joy
And the love that loves the love that loves to love
The love that loves to love the love that loves to love
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To Madame Joy
Right, right
To Madame Joy
Wonder why
To Madame Joy
And the love that loves the love that loves to love
The love that loves to love the love that loves to love
Say goodbye
Get on the train
Get on the train, the train, the train, the train, the train
This is the train
This is the train
This is the train
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train
Get on the train
