Van Morrison - Saint Dominic's Preview Lyrics
Shammy [chamois] cleaning all the windows,Singing songs about edith piafs soul.And I hear blue strains of no regrediorAcross the street from cathedral notre dame.Meanwhile back in san franciscoWere trying hard to make this whole thing blend,As we sit upon this jaggedStorey block, with you my friend.And its a long way to buffalo.Its a long way to belfast city too.And Im hoping the choice wont blow the hoistcos this town, they bit off more than they can chew.As we gaze out on, as we gaze out onAs we gaze out on, as we gaze out onSaint dominics previewSaint dominics previewSaint dominics previewAll the orange boxes are scattered.We get to safeways supermarket in the rain.And everybody feels so determinedNot to feel anyone elses pain.(you know that) no ones making no commitmentsTo anybody but themselves,Hidin behind closed doorways,Tryin to get outside, outside of empty shellsAnd for every cross-cuttin country corner,For every hank williams railroad train that cried,And all the chains, badges, flags and emblemsAnd every strain on every brain and every eye (? )As we gaze out on, as we gaze out onAs we gaze out on, as we gaze out onSaint dominics previewSaint dominics previewSaint dominics preview.And the restaurant tables are completely covered.The record company has paid out for the wine.You got everything in the world you ever wantedRight about now your face should wear a smile.Thats the way it all should happenWhen youre in, when youre in the state youre in;Youve got your pen and notebook ready,I think its about time, time for us to begin.And were over in a 52nd street apartment,Socializing with the whino few,Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set.But theyre flying too high to see my point of view.As we gaze out on, as we gaze out onAs we gaze out on, as we gaze out onSaint dominics previewSaint dominics previewSaint dominics preview.See them freedom marching,Out on the street, freedom marching.Saint dominics preview.
