作词 : Morrison | |
There's a small cafe on the outskirts of town | |
I'll be there when the sun goes down | |
Where the roadside bends | |
And it twists and turns | |
Every new generation | |
And I'll be praying to my higher self | |
Don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground | |
There's 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 it's like to be Daniel in the lion's den | |
Got so many friends only most of the time | |
When the grass is high and the rabbit runs | |
Though it's talkin' to you and I | |
And every new generation comes to pay | |
The dues of the organ grinder jam | |
And the grinder's switch of the sacrifice | |
Everybody made to be rational with understanding | |
And I'll be praying to my higher self | |
Oh, don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground | |
What about all the people living in the nightmare hurt | |
That won't go away no matter how hard they try | |
They've got to pay time and time again, time and time again | |
I'll be praying to my higher self | |
And I'll 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 I'll be praying to my higher self | |
Don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground, don't let me down | |
You'll be cryin' again, you'll be cryin' again, you'll 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 I'll be praying, I'll be praying to my higher self | |
Don't 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 | |
I'll 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 overpass | |
On the ancient highway shine like diamonds in the night | |
Like diamonds in the night | |
I'll be praying to my higher self, to my higher self | |
Don't let me down, don't let me down | |
And you'll 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 | |
I'll be praying to my higher self, don't let me down, don't 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 overpass | |
And we're 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 I'm praying, and I'm gonna pray | |
I'm gonna pray, to my higher self, ah don't let me down | |
Don't let me down, give me the fire, ah give me the fire |
