Joe Harper Saturday Morning [original stereo mix] Songtext
von Van Morrison

When you thought I was a stranger, when you looked upon me
When I came back
But to take you from disaster, I cannot master
The four winds in your shack

In the roamin′, in the gloamin', you have brought
And set before me
And I think that it′s an omen, I'm just not
What so many people see


And you shined your glory all around
Do not disguise what you did
I asked you for half a pound and you said
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid

And the child held a ball in the garden
With the old queen
When you kissed the lips and heart, another stranger
You know what I mean

And you walked on the streets so lonely
In your own childish way
And you thought that you would only, ha
Do it for today


And you shined your glory all around
Do not disguise what we did
I asked you for half a pound and you said
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper
