1 of his best ) in-depth deep, n quite masterful too

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

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

I tried to find this on Grooveshark. It came up with a Bob Dylan version which sounded like the mid 70's Dylan. Too much harmonica and a nervous twitchy sound to it. Nothing even close to Van's version.

This song is so good! You can almost hear an evangelist shouting "in the palace of the lord" the way Van sings this.

I just bought this 86 LP. Sounds great! I broke out my 1976 Martin D35 and had a great time playing along to this LP. Van Morrison at his best. People only think of him as the Gloria or Brown Eyed Girl singer are missing the soul of Van as he drips the honey laden notes for us to enjoy.

van said songs are just songs he means its all an act yes he sings about a lot of meaning and inspiring lyrics etc.. but basically what isnt an act?(saw this in an interview) but of course u can take from it what u like(he said in a bobdylan van singing session tht this could be about bob .(i dont understand u) (Funny how, sometimes, the only way to glimpse peace is to ask yourself to wish it to that Someone else. Good luck, hon.) wtf is hon?

"I saw you from a foreign window You were tryin' to find your way back home You were carryin' your defects Sleepin' on a pallet on the floor" Damn. Funny how, sometimes, the only way to glimpse peace is to ask yourself to wish it to that Someone else. Good luck, hon.

My personal favourite of Van's. Van transends songwriting. It's more like a spiritual experience.
