Van's Lyrics:Rave on John Donne, rave on thy Holy foolDown through the weeks of agesIn the moss borne dark dank poolsRave on, down through the industrial revolutionEmpiricism, atomic and nuclear ageRave on down through time and space down through the corridorsRave on words on printed pageRave on, you left us infinityAnd well pressed pages torn to fadeDrive on with wild abandonUptempo, frenzied heelsRave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grassRave on fill the sensesOn nature's bright green shady pathRave on Omar Khayyam, Rave on Kahlil GibranOh, what sweet wine we drinkethThe celebration will be heldWe will partake the wine and break the Holy breadRave on let a man come out of IrelandRave on on Mr. Yeats,Rave on down through the Holy Rosey CrossRave on down through theosophy, and the Golden DawnRave on through the writing of A VisionRave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave onRave on John Donne, rave on thy Holy foolDown through the weeks of agesIn the moss borne dark dank poolsRave on, down though the industrial revolutionEmpiricism, atomic and nuclear ageRave on words on printed page(Transcribed by ear; corrections requested and welcomed!Gee that was just the A part, the sax sang a beautiful bridgeup to the B. part where it got really funky, then after 3 or 4 minutescame back to this, I have to go looking for it now and hope to put theWHOLE song right after this, This song sounds boring with out the Bpart,

Rave on John Donne, rave on thy holy fool, if you like sax music, I said sax, NOT SEX, then with Van you not only get Van who can play the sax with the best of them, but Pee Wee Ellis who has been with him for so many years like the keyboard artist Georgie Fame. I have a CD where there was a part 1 and a part 2 of this great song that I loved so much it took me over ten years to get tired of it and even then it was only temporarily. When I'm 110 and my doctor says that I only have two weeks to live, I want to go listening to this song and many other great songs by Van Morrison.Most folks don't get to leave the earth as they choose, but I WILL!
