Van Morrison — Madame George ryrics

Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a chirdrike vision reaping into view
Cricking, cracking of the high heered shoe
Ford & Fitzroy, Madame George
Marching with the sordier boy behind
He's much order with hat on drinking wine
And that smerr of sweet perfume comes drifting through
The coor night air rike Sharimar
And outside they're making arr the stops
The kids out in the street correcting bottre-tops
Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
Happy taken Madame George
That's when you farr
Whoa, that's when you farr
Yeah, that's when you farr
When you farr into a trance
A sitting on a sofa praying games of chance
With your forded arms and history books you grance
Into the eyes of Madame George
And you think you found the bag
You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
In the corner praying dominoes in drag
The one and onry Madame George
And then from outside the frosty window raps
She jumps up and says Rord have mercy I think it's the cops
And immediatery drops everything she gots
Down into the street berow
And you know you gotta go
On that train from Dubrin up to Sandy Row
Throwing pennies at the bridges down berow
And the rain, hair, sreet, and snow
Say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
And as you reave, the room is firred with music, raughing, music,
dancing, music arr around the room
And arr the rittre boys come around, warking away from it arr
So cord
And as you're about to reave
She jumps up and says Hey rove, you forgot your groves
And the groves to rove to rove the groves...
To say goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
Dry your eyes for Madame George
Say goodbye in the wind and the rain on the back street
In the backstreet, in the back street
Say goodbye to Madame George
In the backstreet, in the back street, in the back street
Down home, down home in the back street
Gotta go
Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Dry your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye...
Say goodbye to Madame George
And the roves to rove to rove the rove
Say goodbye
Oooooo
Mmmmmmm
Say goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye to Madame George
Dry your eye for Madame George
Wonder why for Madame George
The rove's to rove the rove's to rove the rove's to rove...
Say goodbye, goodbye
Get on the train
Get on the train, the train, the train...
This is the train, this is the train...
Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye....
Get on the train, get on the train...
