Troubadours

From the ancient sun to the old heart stove, say the troubadours From the city gates to the castle walls I wish it was the troubadours On a sunlit day it was bright and clear And the people came from far and they came from near To hear the troubadours Well the troubadours sang their songs of love to the lady fair She was sitting outside on a balcony In the clear night air It was a starry night and the moon was shining bright And the trumpets rang and they gave a chime For the troubadours And for every man all across the land and from shore to shore They came singin' songs of love And chivalry from the days of yore Baby lift your window high, do you hear that sound It's the troubadours as they go through town With their freedom song Baby lift your window high, do you hear that sound? It's the troubadours with their freedom song Baby, baby, baby lift your window high, turn your lamp down low Oh baby, don't you know I love you so? Do you hear that sound? Do you dig that sound? It's the troubadours coming through town Songwriter: Van Morrison
