I think the major problem I have is trying to get these chords to sound
clear. Oh well, good luck.

| As with al Van Morrison songs, i think its just as much about his union with God, as it is his union with his Girl. Some of the things he says, i think, are more trying to put emotions into words, than actual actions, its more metaphorical than anything. | |

| Beautiful love song. Probably just as good as John Hiatt's "Have a little faith in me". | |
