Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold

Everybody's got their own particular vision which is a personal thing.
Van Morrison

You know what they're writing about Baby you know what they're writing about It's a thing called love down through the ages Makes you wanna cry sometimes Makes you feel like you wanna lay down and die sometimes Makes you high sometimes But when you really get in it lifts you right up.
