Van Morrison – Queen Of The Slipstream lyrics

Van Morrison – Queen Of The Slipstream lyrics

Youre the queen of the slipstream
With eyes that shine
You have crossed many waters to be here
You have drank of the fountain of innocence
And experienced the long cold wintry years.

Theres a dream where the contents are visible
Where the poetic champions compose
Will you breathe not a word of this secrecy, and
Will you still be my special rose?

Bridge
Goin away far across the sea
But Ill be back for you
Tell you everything I know
Baby everything is true

Will the blush still remain
On your cheeks my love
In the light always seen
In your head?
Gold and sliver they placed
At your feet my dear
But I know you chose me.
Instead
Goin away... Etc.
Youre the queen of the slipstream
I love you so
You have crossed many waters to be here
And you drink at the fountains of innocence
And experienced, you know very well

I feel that it's about the the Blessed Virgin Mary.
"You have drink at the fountain of innocence"

"Theres a dream where the contents are visible
Where the poetic champions compose" Matthew, Mark, Luke, Paul writing about Jesus.
"Will you still be my special rose?" One of the symbols of Mary is the rose.

I believe that it refers to a man from Scotland or Ireland coming to the newly discovered land, finding true love with a native American woman and she chooses him over the wealthy men who offer riches and properties....which meant Nothing to Native Americans (or other native peoples, only European invaders and others of the northern Europe and Asia countries who invaded and conquered the rest of the world with their superior technology in the form of weapons of war). Natives valued things they could see as gifts from the Gods they served, not invisible things like the northern Europe and Asian people. So this poor man from Scotland or Ireland won her love because of his honesty and LOVE and Respect for her and her culture. She chooses him...he is amazed and grateful and composes this song in response to this TRUE LOVE!!!
