Contemplation Rose - Van Morrison

Puerto Rican Nursery Rhymes

Angels in the snow and thyme

And I’m keeping my mind on that rose

In a church in Spanish Harlem

Got Watchtowers and Awakes for free

In the laundromat for you and me

But you can’t take me down that way

As I’m not sinking

And if we go down one time

Next time’s not gonna be the last time

And I’m contemplating that rose

In a church in Spanish Harlem

Didn’t I bring you precious gifts

Come to kiss you on the lips

Did not even appear

To beg your pardon

To lay out in the morning sun

Feel the cool breeze and the one

Right there in, in my garden

Puerto Rican Nursery Rhymes

And angels, and angels, and the snow and thyme

But I’m keeping my mind on that rose

In a church in Spanish Harlem

Yeah, and if we go, if we go down one time

The next time will not be the last time, and I’m

Keeping my mind on that, contemplating that rose

Up in a church in Spanish Harlem

And if we go down one time, you know

The next time it won’t be the last time

And I’m contemplating that rose

In a church in Spanish Harlem

And I’m contemplating that rose

In a church in Spanish Harlem

And I’m contemplating, and I’m contemplating that rose

In a church in Spanish Harlem

And I’m contemplating that rose

In a church in Spanish Harlem

And I’m contemplating that rose

In a church, in a church in Spanish Harlem
