Текст песни VAN MORRISON - Ancient Highway
There's a small cafe on the outskirts of townI'll be there when the sun goes downWhere the roadside bendsAnd it twists and turnsEvery new generationAnd I'll be praying to my higher selfDon't let me down, keep my feet on the ground ( )There's a roadside jam playin' on the edge of townIn a town called Paradise near the ancient highwayWhen the train whistle blowsAll the sadness that Hank Williams knowsAnd the river flowsCall them pagan streams and it spins and turnsIn a factory in a street called Bread in East BelfastWhere Georgie knows bestWhat it's like to be Daniel in the lion's denGot so many friends only most of the time When the grass is high and the rabbit runsThough it's talkin' to you and IAnd every new generation comes to payThe dues of the organ grinder jamAnd the grinder's switch of the sacrificeEverybody made to be rational with understandingAnd I'll be praying to my higher selfOh, don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground What about all the people living in the nightmare hurtThat won't go away no matter how hard they tryThey've got to pay time and time again, time and time againI'll be praying to my higher selfAnd I'll be standin' there, where the boats go byWhen the sun is sinking way over the hillOn a Friday evening when the sun goes downOn the outskirts of town, I wanna slip awayI wanna slip away, got to get awayAnd I'll be praying to my higher selfDon'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' againBy the same wipe the teardrops from your eyesHave to slip away in the evening when the sun goes downOver the hill, with a sense of wonderEverything gonna be right on a Friday eveningAll the cars go by all along downThe ancient highwayAnd I'll be praying, I'll be praying to my higher selfDon't let me down, keep my feet, keep my feet on the groundKeep my feet on the ground Travelling like a stranger in the night, all along the ancient highwayGot you in my sights, got you on my mindI'll be praying in the evening when the sun goes downOver the mountain, got to get you right in my sightAs the beams on the cars from the overpassOn the ancient highway shine like diamonds in the nightLike diamonds in the nightI'll be praying to my higher self, to my higher selfDon't let me down, don't let me down And you'll be standing there, while the boats go byWhile the boats go by on a Friday eveningShining your light, shining your light on a Friday eveningGot to slip away, got to slip away down that ancient highwayIn a town called Paradise, in a town, in a townAll 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 downKeep my feet on the ground, keep my feet on the ground,Keep my feet on the groundFriday evening got to slip awayWatching the view from a car from the overpassAnd we're driving down that ancient roadShining like diamonds in the night, oh diamonds in the nightAll along the ancient highwayGot you in my sight, got you in my mindGot you in my arms and I'm praying, and I'm gonna prayI'm gonna pray, to my higher self, ah don't let me downDon't let me down, give me the fire, ah give me the fire
