Текст Van Morrison — Days Gone By

Well I know that I said that so long ago
I would not say it now
But I didn’t know what I said would stick like glue
What I said in the days gone by

Well they tried to stitch me up
So many words I said, I said so long ago
Well, we were oh so young and foolish then
Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow

For the days of Auld Lang Syne, my love
For the days of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

And hopefully we will keep on growing and growing
Baby, ’til we reach the sky
If I ever reach [my love ?]
I’m gonna surely have to try, have to try

For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

I feel so sorry for the ones who lead
For to lead, they wanna lead such a perfect life
Sweep under everything, sweep everything underneath the rug
And they’re never free from conflict, from conflict and strife

Because they perpetuate some kinda lie, my love
Perpetuate the lie
But everything I’m doin’, I had to fight for it
Had to fight for it in the days gone by

There is no easy way out, my friend
You got to get used to it somehow
Everyhting you got in you life, right up ’til now
Somebody had to fight for it
You had to fight for it in the days gone by

Well, I go walkin’ up that hillside now
Where there heather’s growing so wild
And I’m gonna carry my child on my shoulders ‘cross the river
For the sake of the days gone by

For the days of gone by, my dear
For the days of gone
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you
For the sake, for the sake of the Auld Lang Syne
