Golden Autumn Day Lyrics - Back On Top - Van Morrison

Well i heard the bells ringing, i was thinking about winning 

in this god forsaken place 

when my confidence was well, then i tripped and i felt 

right flat on my face 

now i'm standing erect, and i feel like coming back 

and the sun is shining gold 

put a smile on my face, get back in the human race 

and get on with the show 

And i'm taking in the indian summer 

and i'm soaking it up in my mind 

and i'm pretending that it's paradise 

on a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day 

on a golden autumn day, an a golden autumn day 

In the wee midnight hour i was parking my car 

in this dimly lit town, 

i was attacked by two thugs, who took me for a mug 

and shoved me down on the ground 

and they pulled out a knife, and i fought my way up 

as they scarpered from the scene 

well this is no new york street, and there's no bobby on the beat 

and things ain't just what they seem 

And i'm taking in the indian summer 

and i'm soaking it up in my mind 

and i'm pretending that it's paradise 

on a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day 

on a golden autumn day, an a golden autumn day 

Who would think this could happen in a city like this 

among blake's green and pleasant hills, 

and we must remember as we go through september 

among these dark satanic mills 

if there's such a thing as justice i could take them out and flog them 

in the nearest green field 

and it might be a lesson to the bleeders of the system 

in this whole society 

And i'm taking in the indian summer 

and i'm soaking it up in my mind 

and i'm pretending like it's paradise 

on a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day 

on a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day, golden autumn day ...
