Sweet Thing Lyrics - Fisherman's Blues - Waterboys

(Van Morrison, John Lennon) 

And I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first 

and I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst 

And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they'll get high 

on a blue ocean, against tomorrow's sky 

And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain 

and I will never grow so old again 

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing 

my, my, my, my, my sweet thing 

And I will stroll the merry ways and jump the hedges first 

and I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst 

And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they'll get high 

on a blue ocean against tomorrow's sky 

And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain 

and never ever ever ever ever get so old again

Ooh... 

sweet thing 

My my my... 

And I shall drive my chariot down your streets and cry 

"Hey, it's me! I'm dynamite and I don't know why" 

And you shall take me warm in your arms again 

and I will not remember that I ever felt the pain 

And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain 

and never ever ever ever ever get so old again 

Ooh 

sweet thing 

Yeah yeah yeah... 

sweet thing 

My my my... 

And I will raise my hand up into the night time sky 

and count the stars there shining in your eyes 

Just to dig it all an' not to wonder, that's just fine 

and I'll be satisfied not to read in between the lines

And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain 

and never ever ever ever ever get so old again 

Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes 

and your saint-like smile... 

Blackbird singing in the dead of night 

blackbird singing in the dead of night 

Take this broken wing and learn to fly 

all your life you were just waiting for this moment to arrive 

Blackbird singing in the dead of night 

take your sunken eyes, learn to see 

All your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free...
