Van Morrison — The Street Only Knew Your Name

[Verse 1] Your street, rich street or poor You should always be sure of your street There's a place in your heart, when you know from the start You can't be complete without a street [Verse 2] Keep movin' on, through the joy and the pain Sometimes you gotta look back to the street again Would you prefer all those castles in Spain Or a view of the street from your window pane? [Chorus] And you walked around in the heart of town Listening for that sound And the street only knew your name When the street only knew your name, your name [Verse 3] There was Walter and Joy, Katie and Roy Used to hang out 'round the corner lamplight Get together sing some songs Like "Boppin' the Blues" - you make me feel alright [Verse 4] That was long before fortune and fame Nothing to lose and so much to gain Everyone knew who everyone was And they knew it because of the street [Chorus] And you walked around in the heart of town Listening for that sound When the street only knew your name When the street only knew your name, oh your name And you walked around in the heart of town Listening for that sound When the street only knew your name When the street only knew your name [Outro] We were singing "Be Bop A Lula", "Who Slapped John?" When the street only knew your name
