Van Morrison - Cyprus Avenue lyrics

rate me

Well, I'm caught one more time<br />

Up on Cyprus Avenue<br />

Caught one more time<br />

Up on Cyprus Avenue<br />

<br />

And I'm conquered in a car seat<br />

Not a thing that I can do<br />

I may go crazy<br />

Before that mansion on the hill<br />

<br />

I may go crazy<br />

Before that mansion on the hill<br />

But my heart keeps beating faster<br />

And my feet can't keep still<br />

<br />

And all the little girls rhyme something<br />

On the way back home from school<br />

And all the little girls rhyme something<br />

On the way back home from school<br />

<br />

And the leaves fall one by one<br />

And call the autumn time a fool<br />

<br />

Yeah, my t-tongue gets tied<br />

Every, every, every time I try to speak<br />

My tongue gets tied<br />

Every time I try to speak<br />

<br />

And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree<br />

I think I'll go on by the river with my cherry, cherry wine<br />

I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine<br />

If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine<br />

<br />

Wait a minute, yonder come my lady<br />

Rainbow ribbons in her hair<br />

Yonder come my lady<br />

Rainbow ribbons in her hair<br />

<br />

Six white horses and a carriage<br />

She's returning from the fair<br />

Baby, baby, baby<br />

<br />

And I'm caught one more time<br />

Up on Cyprus Avenue<br />

And if I'm, yeah, caught one more time<br />

Up on Cyprus Avenue<br />

<br />

And I'm conquered in a car seat<br />

And I'm looking straight at you<br />

<br />

Way up on, way up on, way up on<br />

The avenue of trees<br />

<br />

Keep walking down<br />

In the wind and the rain, darling<br />

You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees<br />

<br />

Nobody, no, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby<br />

So young and bold, fourteen-year old<br />

Baby, baby, baby<br /><br />
