Van morrison flamingos fly lyrics

Go for a ride

In the still of the night

And morning brings forth

All this wonderful delight

Couldn't have made it more plain

When I heard that soft refrain

And I heard you gently sigh 

Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly

Way over yonder in the clear blue sky

That's where flamingos fly 



Lie in the dark

With the sound of the nightingale

Listen for a lark

I will tell you a tale

Breeze is blowin', blowin' outside

Wanna take that moonlight ride

When I hear you gently sigh 



Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly

Way over yonder in the clear blue sky

That's where flamingos fly 



Well we're here and we're waiting

For that morning light to shine

And I'm looking at you looking at me looking right back at you

And I'm anticipating

Sounds along the way

Looking at you looking at me looking right back at you, hey 



I'll follow the road

That will take me, take me right back home

And carry that load

Where the deer and the provincial angels roam

Happiness touches, touches me now

I know where it came from and how

When I hear you gently sigh 



Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly

Way over yonder in the clear blue sky

That's where flamingos fly, flamingos fly

Way over the rooftops of the houses

I heard it one time, I heard it one time in a lullaby

I heard it one time, I heard it one time in a lullaby

Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere way over the rooftops of the houses

Heard it one time in a lullaby

Heard it one time, heard it one time in a lullaby
