lirik lagu van morrison - ancient highway
theres a small cafe on the outskirts of town
ill be there when the sun goes down
where the roadside bends
and it twists and turns
every new generation
and ill be praying to my higher self
dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground
theres a roadside jam playin on the edge of town
in a town called paradise near the ancient highway
when the train whistle blows
all the sadness that hank williams knows
and the river flows
call them pagan streams and it spins and turns
in a factory in a street called bread in east belfast
where georgie knows best
what its like to be daniel in the lions den
got so many friends only most of the time
when the gr-ss is high and the rabbit runs
though its talkin to you and i
and every new generation comes to pay
the dues of the organ grinder jam
and the grinders switch of the sacrifice
everybody made to be rational with understanding
and ill be praying to my higher self
oh, dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground
what about all the people living in the nightmare hurt
that wont go away no matter how hard they try
theyve got to pay time and time again, time and time again
ill be praying to my higher self
and ill be standin there, where the boats go by
when the sun is sinking way over the hill
on a friday evening when the sun goes down
on the outskirts of town, i wanna slip away
i wanna slip away, got to get away
and ill be praying to my higher self
dont let me down, keep my feet on the ground, dont let me down
youll be cryin again, youll be cryin again, youll be cryin again
by the same wipe the teardrops from your eyes
have to slip away in the evening when the sun goes down
over the hill, with a sense of wonder
everything gonna be right on a friday evening
all the cars go by all along down
the ancient highway
and ill be praying, ill be praying to my higher self
dont let me down, keep my feet, keep my feet on the ground
keep my feet on the ground
travelling like a stranger in the night, all along the ancient highway
got you in my sights, got you on my mind
ill be praying in the evening when the sun goes down
over the mountain, got to get you right in my sight
as the beams on the cars from the overp-ss
on the ancient highway shine like diamonds in the night
like diamonds in the night
ill be praying to my higher self, to my higher self
dont let me down, dont let me down
and youll be standing there, while the boats go by
while the boats go by on a friday evening
shining your light, shining your light on a friday evening
got to slip away, got to slip away down that ancient highway
in a town called paradise, in a town, in a town
all along, all along that road, all along that road,
all along that road with the trancelike vision
ill be praying to my higher self, dont let me down, dont let me down
keep my feet on the ground, keep my feet on the ground,
keep my feet on the ground
friday evening got to slip away
watching the view from a car from the overp-ss
and were driving down that ancient road
shining like diamonds in the night, oh diamonds in the night
all along the ancient highway
got you in my sight, got you in my mind
got you in my arms and im praying, and im gonna pray
im gonna pray, to my higher self, ah dont let me down
dont let me down, give me the fire, ah give me the fire
