We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it I don’t have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it I don’t have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl…
when my best friend needed heart surgery and a few hours later they needed to operate again they let me into a room with a lot of other heart surgery patients they would not let me see her just got to sit close to her while into the mystic played she didn't make it what a special song
I love these live music videos in small, intimate settings with real musicians who wrote great songs and performed them outside the studio. It's real music, by real musicians, and there is nothing like it anymore. These are priceless. Thank you for posting this.... They are so hard to find and I search for them often for my Music Treats playlist. What a treasure!

Too late to stop now..
When my granddaughter was three, I'd start this song, scoop her up in my arms and dance all around the kitchen and sing along. I'll always remember her laughter. She's sixteen years old now.
Hey, I didn't know Van Morrison was such a good guitar player. Not flashy, but his musical sense really comes through the instrument. Really nice.That's not to mention the awesome vocals, amazing songwriting, and wonderful supporting cast. Good stuff!
Good songwriting, soul and great musicianship makes for great music.
There are a lot of songs that you listen and half way through you're thinking "Isn't this song over yet? ". A few songs you listen to and when they're over you're thinking " Why'd that song have to end so soon? " Van Morrison writes those.
What a great band!!! True artisans of their craft, expressing pure heart, soul, dynamics, and a feel of grace. Something that today's music is precariously missing.
