in light of the recent round of gay marriage legislation, endless war and occupation, immigration roundups, and overall sense of doom and foreboding about nearly everything, i thought we could use some beauty and warmth. i love van morrison- and i searched high and low for a free recording of him- to no avail. i own irish heartbeat and while i am not irish, i can appreciate the traditional music. however, this song- written by van morrison- is my favorite. enjoy and hug someone you love if you can...
van morrison- irish heartbeat
Oh won't you stay
Stay a while with your own ones
Don't ever stray
Stray so far from your own ones
'cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothing for your soul
That you share with your own ones
Don't rush away
Rush away from your own ones
Just one more day
One more day with your own ones
cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothing bout your soul
That you share with your own ones
There's a stranger
And he's standing at your door
Might be your best friend
might be your brother
You may never know
I'm going back
Going back to my own ones
Come back to talk
Talk a while with my own ones
'cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothing bout your soul
You share with your own ones
Oh won't you stay
One more day with your own ones
Don't rush away
Rush away from your own ones
This old world is so cold,
Don't care nothing for your soul
You share with your own ones
