Van Morrison - St. Dominic's Preview Lyrics

Lyrics St. Dominic's Preview - Van Morrison



Shammy [chamois] cleaning all the windows
Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul
And I hear blue strains of 'no regrets'
Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame
Meanwhile back in San Francisco
We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend
As we sit upon this jagged
Storey block, with you my friend
And it's a long way to Buffalo
It's a long way to Belfast city too
And I'm hoping the choice won't blow the hoist
'Cos this town, they bit off more than they can chew
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on

All the orange boxes are scattered
Against the Safeway's supermarket in the rain
And everybody feels so determined
Not to feel anyone else's pain
(You know that) No one's making no commitments
To anybody but themselves
Hidin' behind closed doorways
Tryin' to get outside
Outside of empty shells
And for every cross-cuttin' country corner
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
And Evert strain on every brain and every eye
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on

Saint Dominic's 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 wanted
Right about now your face should wear a smile
That's the way it all should happen
When you're in,
When you're in the state you're in
You've got your pen and notebook ready
I think it's about time, time for us to begin
And we're over in a 52nd Street apartment
Socializing with the wino few
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
But they're flying too high to see my point of view
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on
As we gaze out on

Saint Dominic's Preview
Saint Dominic's Preview
See them freedom marching
Out on the street, freedom marching
