Sweet Thing Lyrics

Cover art for Sweet Thing lyrics by Van Morrison

Astral weeks is the best album Van ever created. This song is obviously about love, but he's singing to a lover that has brought him back to plain and simple innocent childhood ("And I'll be satisfied not to read in between the lines"). He promises that he'll never return to his previous state of adulthood. The whole song rings with innocence and purity and hope that only a child could feel.
