Golden Autumn Day Lyrics

Well, I heard the bells ringing I was thinking about winning In this God forsaken place
When my confidence was well Then I tripped and I fell Right flat on my face
Now I'm standing erect And I feel like coming back And the sun is shining gold
Put a smile on my face Get back in the human race And get on with the show
And I'm taking in the Indian Summer And I'm soaking it up in my mind And I'm pretending that it's paradise
On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day
In the wee midnight hour I was parking my car In this dimly lit town
I was attacked by two thugs Who took me for a mug And shoved me down on the ground
And they pulled out a knife And I fought my way up As they scampered from the scene
Well, this is no New York street [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/golden-autumn-day-lyrics-van-morrison.html ] And there's no Bobby on the beat And things ain't just what they seem
And I'm taking in the Indian Summer And I'm soaking it up in my mind And I'm pretending that it's paradise
On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day
Who would think This could happen in a city like this Among Blake's green and pleasant hills
And we must remember As we go through September Among these dark satanic mills
If there's such a thing as justice I could take them out and flog them In the nearest green field
And it might be a lesson To the bleeders of the system In this whole society
And I'm taking in, the Indian Summer And I'm soaking it up in my mind And I'm pretending like it's paradise
On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day On a golden autumn day Golden autumn day
