1968, Van Morrison guitar & vocals
[false start]
We just sat there
[Rock & Roll Band]

We just sat there
never ever thinkin'
we'd get much older
Layin' out on the beach
with our heads on each other's shoulder,
and we flagged the highway drivers down,
and get a ride to nowhere
That means sit somewhere out of town,
we never ever had a care
Wasn't that a time,
yeah, so wasn't that a soul time
Wasn't that a time,
wasn't that a soul time

And we stayed out all night long,
and never ever wanted to go home then
Crossed the fields and streams,
in meadows we did roam then
And we did not wanna question,
and never asked for why,
and we look back in sad remembrance
and we softly sigh
And wasn't that a time,
yes, wasn't that a soul time
Wasn't that a time,
yeah, wasn't that a soul time
And we danced, we danced, we danced
to a Rock & Roll band
And we danced, we danced, we danced, we danced
to a Rock & Roll band
with the three guitars
and the drums
and the saxophone

And we just sat there on the beach
never ever thinkin' we'd get much older
So far out of reach
with our heads on each other's shoulder
Flagged the highway drivers down,
and we get a lift to nowhere,
somewhere out of town
We never ever had a care
Wasn't that a time,
yeah, wasn't that a soul time
Wasn't that a time,
wasn't that a soul time,
when we danced, we danced, we danced
to a Rock and Roll band,
and we danced, we danced, we danced
to a Rock and Roll band
with the three guitars
and the drums
and the saxophone
