Summertime In England Lyrics - Common One - Van Morrison

Can you meet me in the country 

In the summertime in England? 

Will you meet me? 

Will you meet me in the country 

In the summertime in England? 

Will you meet me? 

We'll go riding up to Kendal in the country 

In the summertime in England 

Did you ever hear about 

Did you ever hear about 

Did you ever hear about 

Wordsworth and Coleridge, baby? 

Did you ever hear about 

Wordsworth and Coleridge?

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

They were smokin' up in Kendal 

By the lakeside 

Can you meet me in the country in the long grass 

In the summertime in England? 

Will you meet me? 

With your red robe dangling all around your body 

With your red robe dangling all around your body 

Will you meet me? 

Did you ever hear about 

William Blake 

T. S. Eliot? 

In the summer, in the countryside 

They were smokin' 

Summertime in England 

Won't you meet me down Bristol 

Meet me along by Bristol 

We'll go ridin' down 

Down by Avalon 

Down by Avalon 

Down by Avalon 

In the countryside in England 

With your red robe danglin' all around your body free 

Let your red robe go 

Goin' ridin' down by Avalon 

Would you meet me in the country 

In the summertime in England 

Would you meet me? 

In the Church of St. John 

Down by Avalon 

Holy Magnet 

Give you attraction 

Yeah, I was attracted to you 

Your coat was old, ragged and worn 

And you wore it down through the ages 

Ah, the sufferin' did show in your eyes as we spoke 

And the gospel music 

The voice of Mahalia Jackson came through the ether 

Oh, my common one with the coat so old 

And the light in the head 

Said, "Daddy, don't stroke me" 

Call me the common one 

I said, "Oh, common one, my illuminated one 

Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one" 

Take a walk with me 

Take a walk with me down by Avalon 

Oh, my common one with the coat so old 

And the light in her head 

And the sufferin' so fine 

Take a walk with me down by Avalon 

And I will show you 

It ain't why, why, why 

It just is 

Would you meet me in the country? 

Can you meet me in the long grass 

In the country in the summertime? 

Can you meet me in the long grass? 

Wait a minute 

With your red robe danglin' all around your body 

Yeats and Lady Gregory corresponded 

And James Joyce wrote streams 

Of consciousness books 

T.S. Eliot chose England 

T.S. Eliot joined the ministry 

Did you ever hear about Wordsworth and Coleridge? 

Smokin' up in Kendal 

They were smokin' by the lakeside 

Let your red robe go 

Let your red robe dangle in the countryside in England 

We'll go ridin' down by Avalon 

In the country, in the summertime 

With you by my side 

Let your red robe go 

You'll be happy dancin' 

Let your red robe go 

Won't you meet me down by Avalon 

In the summertime in England 

In the Church of St. John? 

Did you ever hear about Jesus walkin' 

Jesus walkin' down by Avalon? 

Can you feel the light in England? 

Can you feel the light in England? 

Oh, my common one with the light in her head 

And the coat so old 

And the sufferin' so fine 

Take a walk with me 

Oh, my common one 

Oh, my illuminated one 

Down by Avalon 

Oh, my common one 

Oh, my story time one 

Oh, my treasury in the sunset 

Take a walk with me 

And I will show you 

It ain't why, it just is 

Oh, my common one 

With the light in the head 

And the coat so old 

Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one 

Oh, my common one 

Take a walk with me 

Down by Avalon 

And I will show you 

It ain't why, it just is 

Oh, my common one with the light in her head 

And the coat so fine 

And the sufferin' so high 

All right now 

Oh, my common one 

It ain't why, it just is 

That's all 

That's all there is about it 

It just is 

Can you feel the light? 

I want to go to church and say 

In your soul 

Ain't it high? 

Oh, my common one 

Oh, my story time one 

Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one 

Put your head on my shoulder 

And you listen to the silence 

Can you feel the silence?
