"Only A Song" lyrics - VAN MORRISON

Only a song, it's not set in stone, it's only a song
It's only a poem, it could change in the long run, it's only a song
It's what I said then just to make it rhyme
Could have been on my mind at the time

Putting paper to pen, it's only a song, it's only a song
Could be back to front, just to get it to work, it's only a song
Get it to jump, get it to swing, so I can sing it

Only a song when everything's said and done
At the end of the day, in the warmth of the sun
It's only a song, in the wintry snow
When the penguins march along and go home
It's only a song

Only a song when everything's said and done
At the end of the day, in the warmth of the sun
It's only a song, in the wintry snow
When the penguins march along and go home
It's only a song

Only a song, it's not set in stone, it's only a song
It's only a poem, it could change in the long run, it's only a song
It's what I said then just to make it rhyme
Something's on my mind at the time

It's only a song, it's back-to-front, just to get it to work now
Get it to jump, get it to swing, so I can sing it
It's only a song, it's not set in stone, it's only a song
It's only a song, it's only a poem, it's only a song
