Tekster: Van Morrison. His Band And The Street Choir. Street Choir.

Street choir, sing me the song for the new day
Don't make it long and remember to sing it the old way
Let it all out, let your voice ring in the street now
My fun, shall be this one to complete now

Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around?

You know I just can't see you now
In my, in my new world crystal ball
You know I just can't free you now
Well, that's not my job at all

Move it on up, move it on up by the window
Oh baby, magnificent flow, let it all go in the moon glow
I'll take the wine, yeah, I'll take the wine in the gravy
Well, I ask you the time and just send the bill to my baby

Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around?

You know I just can't see you now
In my new world crystal ball
You know I just can't free you now
Well, that's not my job at all

Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around?

You know I just can't see you now
In my, in my, in my new world crystal ball
You know, you know, you know, I just can't free you now
Well, that's not my job at all

You know, you know, you know, I just can't free you now
Well, that's not my job at all

Why did you leave America?
