Van Morrison
Queen of the Slipstream
[Verse 1]
You're the queen of the slipstream with eyes that shine
You have crossed many waters to here
You have drank of the fountain of innocence
And experienced the long, cold wintry years
[Verse 2]
There's a dream where the contents are visible
Where the poetic champions compose
Will you breathe not a word of this secrecy?
Will you still be my special rose?
[Bridge]
Goin' away far across the sea
But I'll be back for you
I will tell you everything I know
Tell me everything that's true
[Verse 3]
Will the blush still remain on your cheeks, my love?
Is the light, is the light always seen in your head?
Gold and silver they placed at your feet, my dear
But I know you chose me instead (All right)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Well, I'm goin' away far across the sea
But I'll be back for you
Tell you everything I know
Tell me everything that's true
[Verse 4]
You're the queen of the slipstream, I love you so
You have crossed many waters to be here
And you drink, and you drink at the fountains of innocence
An experience you know very well
[Outro]
You're the queen (You're the queen)
Queen of the slipstream (You're the queen)
You're the queen of the slipstream, all right (You're the queen)
I see you slippin' and slidin' in the snow (You're the queen)
Oh, queen of the slipstream (You're the queen)
You come runnin' to me, you come runnin' to me, darling (You're the queen)
Queen of the slipstream (You're the queen)
(You're the queen)
(You're the queen)
(You're the queen)
(You're the queen)
(You're the queen)
