Van Morrison - Before The World Was Made Lyrics






If I paint the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And your lips more scarlet
Ask if it'll all be right
And it's mirror after mirror
No vanities displayed
You're just looking for the face you had
Before the world was made
Before the world was made
Before the world was made

And if I look upon you now
As though I have my view
With the earth beneath your feet
And heaven up above
Would you think me cruel
After everything's been said
You're only looking for the face you had
Before the world was made
Before the world was made
Before the world was made

And if I paint the lashes dark
And your eyes more bright
And your lips more scarlet
Ask if it'll all be right
And it's mirror after mirror
No vanities displayed
I'm just looking for the face you had
Before the world was made
Before the world was made
Before the world was made

Your original face
Before time and space
Your original face
Before time and space
Your original, original face
Before the world was made
Before the world was made
Before the world was made

    What an absolute gem of an album this cut is on --- "Too Long In Exile." This song and all the rest on it. I've been with Van's music since he started back in the day and for me, the tunes on this album, "Too long In Exile," truly demonstrate the awesome eclecticism in his writing capabilities. It is a very short list of songwriters who are adapt at going from rough and raunchy to the sweet by and by. Simply superb.

  5. A.... S....

    Just another obscure gem from George Ivan Morrison.

  6. A.... A....

    The magnificence of Van and the poetry of Yeats. 'Too Long in Exile,' is one of his greatest albums along with others.

    This was on a mixed CD "Celebrating the Poetry of WB Yeats". Van's song and a few others were my only aperture to solemn and soulful reflection for most of my teenage years.
