Tore Down a la Rimbaud Van Morrison

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

[Verse 2]
Showed me visions, showed me nightmares
Gave me dreams that never end
Showed me light out of the tunnel
When there was darkness all around instead

[Chorus]
I was just 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 sometime

[Verse 3]
Showed me ways and means and motions (Show me)
Showed me what it's like to be (Show me)
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 purpose would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud
You know it's hard sometime, you know it's hard sometime
