lirik lagu van morrison - wonderful remark (1973)
[verse 1]
how can you stand the silence
that pervades when we all cry?
how can you watch the violence
that erupts before your eye?
[verse 2]
you can’t even grab a hold of
when we’re hanging oh so loose
you don’t even listen to us
when we talk it ain’t no use
[pre~chorus]
leave your thoughtlessness behind you
then you may begin to understand
cleave the emptiness around you
with the waving of your hand
[chorus]
that was a wonderful remark
i had my eyes closed in the dark
i sighed a million sighs
i told a million lies
to myself, to myself
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
[verse 3]
now, how can we listen to you
when we know that your talk is cheap?
how can we never question
why we give more and you keep?
[verse 4]
how can your empty laughter
fill a room like ours with joy
when you’re only playing with us
like a child does with a toy?
[pre~chorus]
how can we ever feel the freedom
or the flame lit by the spark?
how can we ever come out even
when reality is stark?
[chorus]
that was a wonderful remark
i had my eyes closed in the dark
i sighed a million sighs
i told a million lies
to myself
to myself
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
[verse 5]
listen, how can you tell us something
just to keep us hanging on? (yeah)
something that just don’t mean nothing
when we see you, you are gone
[verse 6]
clinging to some other rainbow
while we’re standing waiting outside in the cold
telling us the same sad story
knowing time is growing old
[pre~chorus]
touch your world up with some colour
dream you’re swinging on a star
taste it first then add some flavour
now you know just who you are
[chorus]
that was a wonderful remark (yeah)
i had my eyes closed in the dark
i sighed a million sighs (oh yeah)
i told a million lies
to myself (oh yeah)
to myself (alright)
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
wonderful remark
and that—
that was a wonderful remark (yes it was, right on)
i had my eyes closed in the dark (right on)
i sighed a million sighs
i told a million lies
to myself (alright)
to myself
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
[outro]
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(oh, oh, oh)
right on, right on
(oh, oh, oh)
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, cut loose
(oh, oh, oh)
cut loose, cut loose
(oh, oh, oh)
got the groove
oh, oh, oh, yeah
(oh, oh, oh)
cut loose, alright, right on, right on
(oh, oh, oh)
right on, right on
