1...AND IT STONED ME... by Van Morrison

*from 'Moondance' (1970)*

Verse 1:

Half a mile from the county fair, and the rain came pouring down.

Me and Billy standing there, with a silver half a crown.

Hands full of fishing gear, and the tackle on our backs.

We just stood there getting wet, with our backs against the fence.

Bridge 1:

Oh, the water, oh, the water.

Oh, the water; let it run all over me.

Chorus 1:

And it stoned me to my soul,

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll; and it stoned me.

And it stoned me to my soul,

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll; and it stoned me.

Verse 2:

And the rain let up and the sun came out; we were getting dry.

Almost glad a pickup truck, nearly passed us by.

So we jumped right in, and the driver grinned and he dropped us up the road.

We looked at the swim and we jumped right in; not to mention fishing poles.

Bridge 2:

Oh, the water, oh, the water.

Oh, the water; let it run all over me.

Chorus 2:

And it stoned me to my soul,

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll; and it stoned me.

And it stoned me to my soul,

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll; and it stoned me.

Verse 3:

On the way back home, we sang a song, but our throats were getting dry.

Then we saw the man, from a-cross the road, with the sunshine in his eyes.

Well, he lived all alone in his own little home, with a great big gallon jar.

There were bottles too; one for me and you and he said; "hey, there you are".

Bridge 3:

Oh, the water, oh, the water.

Oh, the water; let it run all over me.

Chorus 3:

And it stoned me to my soul,

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll; and it stoned me.

And it stoned me to my soul,

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll; and it stoned me.

My back was up against the wall, and you slowly just walked a-way.

These dreams of you; so real and so true.
