The Waterboys - The Thrill Is Gone / And the Healing Has Begun lyrics

This is called "The Thrill Is Gone" I'm too tired to deceive you We can't pretend there's nothing wrong Who'll be the first to say it? That the thrill is gone And we'll never get it back And when we talk of old acquaintance And speak like two strangers all day long The only four words that I hear Are "the thrill is gone" And we'll never get it back And then evening falls like teardrops And goodbye hangs on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on I won't need to go fall asleep and dream to tell me That the thrill is gone, no No we'll never get it back No we'll never get it back No when never no we never No when never no we never No when never no we never No when never no we never No when never no we never No when never no we never No when never no we never gonna get it back When we walk down the avenue again When we walk down the avenue again When we walk down the avenue again When the healing has begun When we walk down the avenue in style When we walk down the avenue we smile And we know that its all gonna be worthwhile Because the healing has begun oh yeah Oh the healing has begun I want you to put on your bright red summer dress I want you to put on your easter bonnet, your Sunday coat and all the rest And I want to make sweet love to you, Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes When the healing has begun When the healing has begun This song was written by Van Morrison It's a privilege to sing such a fine song in the most beautiful place in England In this year of our lord 1986 Oh! Thank you
