Glad Tidings (Alternate Version) - Van Morrison (范·莫里森)
And they'll lay you down low and easy
And it looks like you kids will stay Christmas
It demands that you travel the distance
So believe no lies dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La la la la la la la la la la la la
And the business shake hands and talk in numbers
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
Then all the knights will all step forth with their arm bands
And ev'ry stranger you meet in the street will make demands
So believe no lies
Then dry your eyes and realize
That surprise
La la la
And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes so you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come in right on time
And they'll talk to you while you're in trances
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love peace and persuasion
And expect them to rise them for the occasion
Let it gratify when you see it materialize
Right in front of your eyes
That surprise
Lalalalalalala
Now once again once again
And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes so you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come in right on time
And they'll lay you down low and easy
