Van Morrison
The Healing Game (Alternate Version)
[Verse 1]
Here I am again
Back on the corner again
Back where I belong
Where I've always been
Everything's the same
It'll never change
I'm back on the corner again
In the healing game
[Verse 2]
Down those ancient streets
Down those ancient roads
Where nobody knows
Where nobody goes
Back on the corner again
Everything's the same
It'll never change
In the healing game
[Verse 3]
Wherе the choirboys sing
Where I'vе always been
Sing the song with soul
Baby, don't you know
We can let it roll
On the saxophone
Back street jelly roll
In the healing game
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Where the homeboys sing
Sing their songs of praise
'Bout their golden days
In the healing game
Sing it out loud
Sing it in your name
Sing it like you're proud
Sing the healing game
[Verse 5]
Back on the corner again
It's where I've always been
Never been away
From the healing game
Down those ancient streets
Down those ancient roads
Where nobody goes
Where nobody knows
[Verse 6]
I wish I was the same
It'll never change
Sing it in your name
Play the healing game
Where those choirboys sing
In the sun of, spring
Baby, won't you sing
For the healing game?
[Verse 7]
For the healing game
Sing it in your name
Well, it's never the same
Where it's always changed
Take me back again
Back on the corner again
It's where I've always been
In the healing game
[Verse 8]
In the healing game
In the healing game
Won't you play it again?
Play the healing game
Sing the healing game
Sing it in your name
Sing it loud again
Sing the healing game
[Verse 9]
Won't you let it roll
On the saxophone?
Back street jelly roll
Play the healing game
Play the healing game
Play the healing game
Play the healing game
Play me the healing game
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 10]

Sing the healing game
Sing it in your name
Sing it loud
Won't you sing it proud?
Sing it in your name
Sing the healing game
