Foreign Window Lyrics - No Guru, No Method, No Teacher - Van Morrison

I saw you from a foreign window 

bearing down the sufferin' road 

you were carryin' your burden 

to the palace of the lord 

to the palace of the lord 

I spied you from a foreign window 

when the lilacs were in bloom 

And the sun shone through your window pane 

to the place you kept your books 

you were reading on your sofa 

you were singin' every prayer 

that the masters had instilled in you 

since lord byron loved despair 

in the palace of the lord 

in the palace of the lord 

[bridge:] 

and if you get it right this time 

you don't have to come back again 

and if you get it right this time 

there's no need to explain 

I saw you from a foreign 

bearing down the sufferin' road 

you were carryin' your burden 

you were singing about rimbaud 

i was going down to geneva 

when the kingdom had been found 

i was giving you protection 

from the loneliness of the crowd 

in the palace of the lord 

in the palace of the lord 

They were giving you religion 

breaking bread and drinking wine 

and you laid out on the green hills 

just like when you were a child 

i saw you from a foreign window 

you were trying to find your way back home 

you were carrying your defects 

sleeping on a pallet on the floor 

in the palace of the lord 

in the palace of the lord 

in the palace of the lord 

etc etc...
