Bright Side of the Road - Van Morrison

In the heat of the fight, I walked away Ignorin' words that you were sayin' Tryna make me stay I said, "This time I've had enough" And you've called a hundred times But I'm not picking up 'Cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over But if you look a little closer I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone I keep goin' back over things we both said And I remember the slamming door And all the things that I misread Oh, babe, if you know everything Tell me why you couldn't see When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door And I'll scream out the window I can't even look at you I don't need you but I do, I do, I do I say, "There's nothing you can say To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it" But what I mean is I said, "Leave", but, baby, all I want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door With your face and the beautiful eyes And the conversation with the little white lies And the faded picture of a beautiful night You carried me from your car up the stairs And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress After everything I must confess, I need you

You better stay, stay on your side of town 'Cause I'm done, done with all this breaking down One last time, you're gonna hear me out You better stay, stay on your side of town Don't want your headlights on my road Door to my heart is closed If you can hear that train running down the tracks You're way too close There's a no-trespass sign on the country line and it reads your name You better just pretend there's a barbwire fence and a barricade Stay on your side of town, stay on your side of town Stay off my stomping grounds, stay on your side of town, yeah Ain't got no time, time for your apologies I tore your page out of my biography You'll never do again what you did to me (you'll never do again) Ain't got no time, time for your apologies This place ain't big enough, baby, for the both of us You had your chance to have my love And screwed it up There's a no-trespass sign on the country line and it reads your name You better just pretend there's a barbwire fence and a barricade Stay on your side of town, stay on your side of town Stay off my stomping grounds, stay on your side of town, ooh yeah Don't want your headlights on my road (my road) Door to my heart is closed (is closed) If you can hear that train running down the tracks You're way too close There's a no-trespass sign on the country line and it reads your name You better just pretend there's a barbwire fence and a barricade Stay on your side of town, stay on your side of town Stay off my stomping grounds, stay on your (ha! Come on) Stay on your Stay on your side of town, stay on your side of town Stay off my stomping grounds, stay on your side of town

Eighteen years old, full of hate They shipped me off in a motorcade They said, "Boy, you're gonna fight a war You don't even know what you're fighting for" I lost friends in the August heat At night it was God I'd always meet I said, "Lord, won't you bring me home? I've got women in the west I wanna hold" And I lost you in a waiting room After sleepin' there for a week or two Doctor said he did all he could You were the last thing I had that was good So I walked miles on the Tulsa streets Light started beamin' in from the east 6 AM and fucked up again Askin' God where the hell he'd been He said the sun's gonna rise tomorrow Somewhere on the east side of sorrow You better pack your bags west Stick out your chest And then hit the road The sun's gonna rise tomorrow Somewhere on the east side of sorrow Don't give it a reason to follow Let it be, then let it go Let it be, then let it go Heard your brother lost his mind in the city last fall Was it his blood, or his conscious, or the alcohol Did the Navy do him well or did he wind up sick Like every other brave boy from these run down sticks? Do you ever get tired of singin' songs Like all your pain is just another fucking sing along? If you ever get the time come on home I heard Turnpike's back together and they're writin' songs He said the sun's gonna rise tomorrow Somewhere on the east side of sorrow You better pack your bags west Stick out your chest And then hit the road The sun's gonna rise tomorrow Somewhere on the east side of sorrow Don't give it a reason to follow Let it be, then let it go Let it be, then let it go

You said you can't change your haircut But it looks good anyway I kinda wonder where you got it And I doubt you even paid The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you I wonder if you got home But we just said goodbye You looked back at me once But I looked back two times The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck Still smells like you The right side of my neck

I set out on a narrow way many years ago Hoping I would find true love along the broken road But I got lost a time or two Wiped my brow and kept pushing through I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you That every long lost dream lead me to where you are Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you Yes it did I think about the years I spent just passing through I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you But you just smile and take my hand You've been there you understand It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true Every long lost dream led me to where you are And others who broke my heart they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know it's true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you Yeah And now I'm just rolling home Into my lover's arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you

Te vi, me viste, al principio fue una broma Luego la verdad se asoma Intercambiamos sonrisas Pasó algún tiempo, poco menos de una hora Y por debajo de la mesa Tu tacón tocó mi bota Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana Después de eso nos veíamos casi a diario Nuestro amigo el calendario Nos dio 400 citas De tanto amarnos nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano Ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana, yeh-hey Pasando el tiempo, analizando la ruptura, la versión que tiene el lobo No es la de Caperucita De tanto amarnos, nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano, ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Seguramente pa la otra que nos veamos repitamos Lo de la primera cita, yeah, eh-eh-eh-eh Uh, mmh-mmh-mmh, mmh

Miras con tanta dulzura, hermosa criatura Tú mi bello ángel que cayó del cielo Soy un simple pobre diablo que corrió con suerte Que logró obtenerte por obra divina Pues en cada esquina te busqué Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Viniste a reconformarme, a rehabilitarme Tú mi bello ángel, yo estaba perdido Siento que después de ti yo soy otra persona Ya no me conozco, ¿qué paso conmigo? Por eso te digo que tú Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti

Compa ¿Qué le parece esa morra? La que anda bailando sola Me gusta pa' mí Bella Ella sabe que está buena Que todos andan mirándola cómo baila Me acerco Y le tiro todo un verbo Tomamos tragos sin peros solo tentación Le dije "Voy a conquistar tu familia" Que en unos días, vas a ser mía Me dijo Que estoy muy loco, pero le gusta Que ningún vato como yo actúa Ahí te va mija Y pura doble P viejo Así no más compa Pedro puro Eslabón Armado A las plebitas (cha-chau) No soy Un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón Te cumplo todo Me agarro Pegadito de su mano Mi compa ni se la creyó Que al pasar fui yo Su cuerpo Juro por Dios, que era tan perfecta Su cintura como modelo Sus ojos Desde el principio me enamoraron A ella le gusto Y a mí me gusta
