Madame George (1999 Remaster) (LP版)

Madame George (LP版) - Van Morrison (範·莫里森)
Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a childlike vision leaping into view
Clicking  clacking of the high heeled shoe
Ford and Fitzroy  Madame George
Marching with the soldier boy behind
He's much older with hat on drinking wine
And that smell of sweet perfume
Comes drifting through
The cool night air like Shalimar
And outside they're making all the stops
The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops
Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
Happy taken Madame George
That's when you fall
Whoa  that's when you fall
Yeah  that's when you fall
When you fall into a trance
A sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms and history books
You glance into the eyes of Madame George
And you think you found the bag
You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
In the corner playing dominoes in drag
The one and only Madame George
And then from outside the frosty window raps
She jumps up and says  Lord
Have mercy I think it's the cops
And immediately drops everything she gots
Down into the street below
And you know you gotta go
On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row
Throwing pennies at the bridges down below
And the rain  hail  sleet  and snow
Say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
And as you leave  the room is filled with music
Laughing  music  dancing  music all around the room
And all the little boys come around
Walking away from it all
So cold  and as you're about to leave
She jumps up and says  hey love
You forgot your gloves
And the gloves to love  to love the gloves
The gloves to love  to love the gloves
The gloves to love  to love the gloves
The gloves to love  to love the gloves
To say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
Dry your eyes for Madame George
Say goodbye in the wind
And the rain on the back street
In the backstreet  in the back street
Say goodbye to Madame George
In the backstreet  in the back street
In the back street
Down home  down home in the back street
Gotta go  say goodbye  goodbye  goodbye
Dry your eye  your eye  your eye
Your eye  your eye
Say goodbye to Madame George
And the loves to love to love the love
The loves to love to love the love
The loves to love to love the love
The loves to love to love the love
Say goodbye  ooo  mmm
Say goodbye goodbye  goodbye
Goodbye  goodbye goodbye
Goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
The love's to love  the love's to love
The love's to love the love's to love
Say goodbye  goodbye
Get on the train
Get on the train  the train  the train
The train  the train
This is the train  this is the train
