Days Gone By

Days Gone By es una maravillosa canción, como tantas otras del gran Van Morrison que aparece dentro de su álbum de 2019 que lleva por título Three Chords & The Truth. Un tema donde el sonido del músico de Belfast, tan característico e inconfundible te lleva a soñar e inundar de cierta melancolía las emociones.





Well I know I said that so long ago
I would not say it now
But I didn't know what I said would stick like glue
What I said in the days gone by

Well they tried to stitch me up, so many words I said
I said so long ago
But we were, oh, so young and foolish then
Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow

For the days of auld lang syne, my love
For the days of auld lang syne
I want to drink, I want to drink a cup of kindness with you
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

And hopefully we will, hopefully we will keep on growing and growing
Baby, baby, baby, baby, 'till we reach the sky
If I ever reach, I have never yet
But I'm gonna surely, gonna surely have to try, have to try

For the sake of auld lang syne, my dear
For the sake of auld lang syne
I want to drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

Yeah, yeah

Well I feel so, feel so sorry for the ones who lead
For to lead, they want to lead such a perfect life
Sweep under everything
Sweep everything underneath the rug
And they're never free from conflict, from conflict and strife

Because they perpetuate, perpetuate some kind of lie, my love
Perpetuate, perpetuate the lie
But everything I'm doing, everything I'm doing
I had to fight for it, had to fight for it
In the days
In the days gone by

There is no easy, no easy way out, my friend
You got to get used to it, used to it somehow
Everything you got in your life right up to now
Somebody had to fight for it, you had to fight for it
In the days gone by

Well go walking, walking, walking up that hillside, now
Where the heather, where the heather
Where the heather's growing so wild
Then I'm going to carry my child, carry my child on my shoulders
Across the river, across the river
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

For the days gone by, my dear
For the days, for the days gone by
I want to share a cup, share a cup of kindness with you
For the sake, for the sake of auld lang syne

For auld, for auld lang syne, my dear
For the sake, for the sake, for the sake of auld lang syne
I'm gonna carry my child on my back across the river
Gonna keep on walking, keep on walking
Walking in the days, in the days of auld lang syne

Have mercy now, have mercy now
Have mercy, have mercy now
Gonna keep on keepin' on, keep on keepin' on
Keep on keepin' on, keep on keepin' on
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

Everything I have in my life right now
I had to fight, had to fight for it somehow
Gotta keep on fighting, keep on fighting
Fighting today, fighting today
For the sake of the days gone by

For old acquaintance be forgot
Yeah, never, never, never brought to mind
I want to drink a cup, drink a cup, drink a cup of kindness
For the sake of auld lang syne

For the sake, for the days gone by my love
For the sake of auld lang syne
I wanna drink, I want to share, share a cup of kindness
For the sake of the days gone by
