Tore Down a la Rimbaud (Live at Montreux) Van Morrison

[Verse 1]
Showed me pictures in the gallery
Showed me novels on the shelf
Put my hands across the table
Give me knowledge of myself

[Verse 2]
Showed me visions, show me nightmares
Gave me dreams that never end
Showed me light out of the tunnel
Darkness was all around instead

[Chorus]
When I was tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my purpose would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime, you know it's hard

[Verse 3]
Showed me ways and means and motions
Showed me what it's like to be
Gave me days of deep devotions
Showed me things I cannot see

[Chorus]
When I was tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my message would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime, you know it's hard
