Van Morrison - Redwood Tree Lyrics






Boy and his dog
Went out looking for the rainbow
You know what did they learn
Since that very day

Walking by the river
And running like a blue streak
Through the fields of streams and meadows
Laughing all the way

Oh redwood tree
Please let us under
When we were young we used to go
Under the redwood tree

And it smells like rain
Maybe even thunder
Won't you keep us from all harm
Wonderful redwood tree

And a boy and his father
Went out, went out looking for the lost dog
You know what oh haven't they learned
Since they did that together
They did not bring him back
He already had departed
But look at everything they have learned
Since that, since that very day

Oh redwood tree
Please let us under
When we were young we used to go
Under the redwood tree

And it smells like rain
Maybe even thunder
Won't you keep us from all harm
Wonderful redwood tree

Ta da da da...

    genehenrylindgren ....I had a friend who owned a record store in 1972...Jimi called me when this lp was released and told me to get in the store NOW! I bought it for $2.99! It changed my soul. I have loved " Van the Man"s music ever since.
    His songs were played at our wedding and will be played when I am laid to rest.
