Philosophers Stone Lyrics by Van Morrison

Philosophers Stone Lyrics

    Out on the highways and the by-ways all alone
    I'm still searching for, searching for my home
    Up in the morning, up in the morning out on the road
    And my head is aching and my hands are cold
    And i'm looking for the silver lining, silver lining in the clouds
    And i'm searching for and
    I'm searching for the philosophers stone

    And it's a hard road, its a hard road daddy-o
    When my job is turning lead into gold
    He was born in the back street, born in the back street jelly roll
    I'm on the road again and i'm searching for
    The philosophers stone
    Can you hear that engine
    Woe can you hear that engine drone
    Well i'm on the road again and i'm searching for
    Searching for the philosophers stone

    Up in the morning, up in the morning
    When the streets are white with snow
    It's a hard road, it's a hard road daddy-o
    Up in the morning, up in the morning
    Out on the job
    Well you've got me searching for
    Searching for, the philosophers stone
    Even my best friends, even my best friends they don't know
    That my job is turning lead into gold
    When you hear that engine, when you hear that engine drone
    I'm on the road again and i'm searching for the philosophers stone

    It's a hard road even my best friends they don't know
    And i'm searching for, searching for the philosophers stone
