For Mr. Thomas

For Mr. Thomas - Van Morrison[00:00:00]

Written by:Robin Williamson[00:00:01]

From faded newsprint used to wrap a fish[00:00:22]

Inscrutably the muse selects your face[00:00:26]

As I sit drinking famously in an irish bar[00:00:32]

Five thousand miles and thirty years away[00:00:37]

With the usual ceremonial you were crowned one night[00:00:43]

King of the field where doctors nail the cows[00:00:48]

To make of the cock's quill the rights of language[00:00:54]

And the pricking heart a sword against the hours[00:00:58]

Let smirking scholars writhe in their favourite bondage[00:01:05]

And hold you plaintiff to the charge of art[00:01:09]

Exhibit a he falls on legendary lines[00:01:15]

Singing mother I don't want a pain here in my heart[00:01:19]

The judge in me sucks eggs and jerks the sacred meat[00:01:47]

But the boy in me still dreams in milk wood town[00:01:52]

Like two provincial bastards playing the galleries[00:01:58]

I hold your photo to a mirror upside down[00:02:02]

And as bacon wafts through hungry streets your ghost pervades[00:02:09]

Just like an old ex boxer aged twenty two[00:02:13]

Staged up like falstaff or the wild welsh rimbaud[00:02:19]

You'd laugh to see the monograms they make of you[00:02:23]

Ah Mr. Thomas let us ramble through the midnight fair[00:02:30]

Let us throw old bottles at the ferris wheel[00:02:34]

Let us paint library on the library let us raid the moonlight[00:02:39]

Let us steal whatever we are supposed to steal[00:02:45]

Let us watch while the days grow daily more mundane[00:02:51]

That rough god go riding with his shears[00:02:56]

Hack wide the belly of the swollen mountains[00:03:02]

And rip molten heroes forth from their furious tears[00:03:06]

Oh Mr. Thomas oh Mr. Thomas[00:03:11]

And let us steal whatever we're supposed to steal[00:03:16]

Mr. Thomas oh Mr. Thomas[00:03:22]

Why don't we feel whatever we're supposed to feel[00:03:27]

Oh Mr. Thomas Mr. Thomas[00:03:32]

Why don't we feel whatever we're supposed to feel[00:03:38]

Oh Mr. Thomas let us ramble through the midnight[00:03:43]

Let us throw bottles at the ferris wheel[00:03:49]

Let us paint library on the library let us raid the moonlight[00:03:54]

Let us steal whatever we are supposed to steal[00:03:59]
