"A Love Song..."

"Into The Mystic"

Van Morrison

1969

We were born before the wind

Also younger than the sun

Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry

Smell the sea and feel the sky

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home

And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it

I don't have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old

Then magnificently we will float into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home

And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it

I don't have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old

And together we will float into the mystic

Come on girl...

Really, a song about much more than love... A song about belonging to the universe. I hear it often and I've always loved it. It was recorded around the time I made my fearful discovery as a very young boy that I was different. It would be fully 35 years later that I would acknowledge the truth that this song conveys in such poignant lyrics that every time I hear it, I am reminded of the entire journey... Love's Journey.
