Van Morrison
Glad Tidings
[Verse 1]
And they'll lay me down low and easy
And they look like your kiss will say Christmas
It demands that you travel the distance

[Pre-Chorus]
So believe no lies
Dry your eyes
And realize
That surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la

[Verse 2]
And the business will shake hands and talk in numbers
And the prince, he will wake up from his slumber
Then all the knights will come forth with their armbands
And every stranger you meet in the street will make demands

[Pre-Chorus]
So, children believe no lies
Comе on and dry your eyes
And realizе
That surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
[Chorus]
We'll bring you glad tidings from New Orleans
Won't you open up your eyes so that you may see?
How could you not? Don't you dare read between the lines
Make sure, baby, that you come in right on time

[Outro]
When they'll lay me down low and easy
