| Lyrics: | 1968, Van Morrison guitar & vocals
[false start]
We just sat there
[Rock & Roll
Band]
We just sat there
never ever thinkin'
we'd get much older.
Layin'
out on the beach
with our heads on each other's shoulder,
and we flagged the highway
drivers down,
and get a ride to nowhere.
That means sit somewhere out of town,
we
never ever had a care.
Wasn't that a time,
yeah, so wasn't that a soul time.
Wasn't
that a time,
wasn't that a soul time.
And we stayed out all night long,
and
never ever wanted to go home then.
Crossed the fields and streams,
in meadows we did roam
then.
And we did not wanna question,
and never asked for why,
and we look back in sad
remembrance
and we softly sigh.
And wasn't that a time,
yes, wasn't that a soul
time.
Wasn't that a time,
yeah, wasn't that a soul time.
And we danced, we danced, we
danced
to a Rock & Roll band.
And we danced, we danced, we danced, we danced
to a
Rock & Roll band
with the three guitars
and the drums
and the
saxophone.
And we just sat there on the beach
never ever thinkin' we'd get much
older.
So far out of reach
with our heads on each other's shoulder.
Flagged the
highway drivers down,
and we get a lift to nowhere,
somewhere out of town.
We never
ever had a care.
Wasn't that a time,
yeah, wasn't that a soul time.
Wasn't that a
time,
wasn't that a soul time,
when we danced, we danced, we danced
to a Rock and
Roll band,
and we danced, we danced, we danced
to a Rock and Roll band
with the three
guitars
and the drums
and the saxophone.
