Rave On, John Donne / Rave On, Pt. 2 (Live)

Van Morrison

[Part I: Rave On, John Donne]

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Rave on John Donne, rave on thy holy fool (Thank you)
Down through the weeks of ages in the moss borne dark dank pools
Rave on down through the Industrial Revolution
Empiricism, the atomic and nuclear age
Rave on down through the corridors
Rave on words on printed page

[Verse 2]
Rave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grass
Rave on, fill the senses on nature's bright green shady path
Rave on Omar Khayyam, rave on Kahlil Gibran
Oh, what swine— sweet wine we drink as the celebration will be held
We will drink the, the wine and brеak the holy bread

[Verse 3]
Rave on lеt a man come out of Ireland
Rave on, Mr. Yeats
Rave on down through thy Holy Rosy Cross
Rave on down through theosophy and the Golden Dawn
Rave on through the writing of a vision
Rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on

[Verse 1]
Rave on John Donne (Yeah)
Rave on thy holy fool (Yeah, it's alright)
Down through the weeks of ages (Alright)
In the moss borne dark dank pools
Rave on down though the Industrial Revolution
Empiricism and the atomic and nuclear age
Rave on words on printed page

[Part II: Rave On, Pt. 2]

[Saxophone Solo]
Thank you

[Verse 1]
Tonight
In the sitting room tonight
The light
In the sitting room tonight
After leaves shake out of the trees
In the cold summer breeze
When the people passing in the street
And everybody that you meet

[Verse 2]
Tonight
You will understand the wonders
Tonight
You will understand the one
The light
In the sitting room tonight
In the light
Let it obligate the night
You will understand the wonders, the wonders
The wonders, the wonders
The wonders, the wonders
The wonders, the wonders

[Verse 3]
Is it real
What you sang about in your song?
Is it real
What you sang about in your song?
I said come back, baby
Can we talk it over one more time?
Tonight, tonight
You will understand the wonders, the wonders

[Verse 4]
Tonight
Anything suitable tonight
Tonight
Let it all begin tonight
You will understand the wonders, the wonders
The wonders, the wonders inside

[Verse 5]
And the truth
What you sang about in your song
Oh baby, baby, and the truth
What you sang about in your song
I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 6]
Tonight
You will understand the one
Oh, tonight
You will under, understand the wonders
And the leaves shaking off the trees
In the cold evening breeze
And the people passing on the street
And everybody that you meet
Tonight, tonight
When your lover's gone
Tonight, tonight
