"Into the Mystic" is one of Morrison's warmest ballads, an Otis Redding-style
reverie with acoustic guitar and horns. The lyrics are truly
mysterious: "People say, 'What does this mean?' " said Morrison. "A lot
of times I have no idea what I mean. That's what I like about rock &
roll — the concept. Like Little Richard — what does he mean? You can't take him apart; that's rock & roll to me."
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Beautiful! Thank you, Aart!
