Lyrics

Words and music by van morrison

Now listen julie baby
It ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight
It ain't natural for you to cry
Way in the midnight through
Until the wee small hours
Long 'fore the break of dawn, oh lord

Now julie there ain't nothin' on my mind
More further away than what you're lookin' for
I see the way they jump at me
Lord, from behind the door, and look into my eyes
Your little star stuck innuendows
Inadequacies, foreign bodies

And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain, oh, lord

So open up the window and let me breathe
I said, open up the window and let me breathe
I'm looking down to the street below
Lord, I cried for you, oh, lord

The cool room, lord, is a fool's room
The cool room, lord, is a fool's room
And I can almost smell your t.b. sheets
And I can almost smell your t.b. sheets, on your sick bed

I gotta go, l gotta
And you said, please stay
I want, I want a drink of water
I want a drink of water
I went to the kitchen to get me a drink of water

I gotta go baby
I send, I send, I send somebody around her later
You know we got john comin' around
Later with a bottle of wine for you, babe

The cool room lord, is a fool's room
The cool room lord, is a fool's room
And I can almost smell your t.b. sheets
I can almost smell your t.b. sheets
I gotta go

Send 'round, send one that grumbles later on
Will see what I can pick up for ya
I got a few things gotta do
Don't worry about it
Don't worry about it, don't worry, up up go go go
I gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
And all right, all right

I turned on the radio, if you wanna hear a few tunes
I'll turn the radio on for you
