Troubadours - Van Morrison

From the ancient sun to the old heart stove, say the troubadours

From the city gates to the castle walls

I wish it was the troubadours

On a sunlit day it was bright and clear

And the people came from far and they came from near

To hear the troubadours

Well the troubadours sang their songs of love to the lady fair

She was sitting outside on a balcony

In the clear night air

It was a starry night and the moon was shining bright

And the trumpets rang and they gave a chime

For the troubadours

And for every man all across the land and from shore to shore

They came singin' songs of love

And chivalry from the days of yore

Baby lift your window high, do you hear that sound

It’s the troubadours as they go through town

With their freedom song

Baby lift your window high, do you hear that sound?

It’s the troubadours with their freedom song

Baby, baby, baby lift your window high, turn your lamp down low

Oh baby, don’t you know I love you so?

Do you hear that sound?

Do you dig that sound?

It’s the troubadours coming through town

Songwriter: Van Morrison
