you re the queen of the slipstream with eyes that shine you have crossed many waters to be here you have drank from the fountain of innocence you have experienced the long winter years there s a dream where the contents are visible where the poetic champions compose will you breathe not a word of this secrecy will you still be my special rose i m going away far across the ocean but i ll be back for you i ll tell you everything i know tell you everything that s true will the blush still remain on your cheeks my dear is the light always seen in your head gold and silver they placed at your feet but i know you chose me instead solo repeat bridge you re the queen of the slipstream and i love you so you have crossed many waters to come here you have tasted the fountain of innocence you have experienced the long wintery years written by van morrison
