Into the Mystic é uma música de Van Morrison, lançada em seu álbum de 1970, Moondance. Morrison escreveu a canção inspirado por sua infância em Belfast, Irlanda do Norte, e pelas influências da música soul americana, R&B e o som do mar. A canção é frequentemente interpretada como uma reflexão sobre a vida, a morte e a reencarnação.
We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun 'Ere the bonny boat was won As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now, hear the sailor's cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly Into the mystic.
When that foghorn blows, I will be comin' home, Mmm hmm hm When that foghorn blows, I wanna hear it, I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock you gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And magnificently we will float Into the mystic
When that foghorn blows, you know I will be comin' home And when that foghorn whistle blows, I've gotta hear it, I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float Into the mystic ............... Come on girl!
........ Too late to stop now-o-ow!...... (..my first stab at this...criticism welcomed!..)
