I'm Tired Joey Boy

VAN MORRISON

I'm tired Joey Boy

While you're out with the sheep

My life is so troubled

Now I can't go to sleep

I would walk myself out

But the streets are so dark

I shall wait till the morning

And walk in the park



This life is so simple when

One is at home

And I'm never complaining

When there's work to be done

Oh I'm tired Joey Boy of the makings of men

I would like to be cheerful again



Ambition will take you

And ride you too far and

Conservatism bring you to boredom once more

Sit down by the river

And watch the stream flow

Recall all the dreams

That you once used to know

The things you've forgotten

That took you away

To pastures not greener but meaner



Love of the simple is all that I need

I've no time for schism or lovers of greed

Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen

When silence will touch you

And heartbreak will mend.
