Текст песни Ancient Highway - Van 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
it
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
when
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
(And
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)
Don′t
let
me
down
(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
(Keep
my
feet
on
the
ground)
Traveling
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
from
the
cars
from
the
overpass
On
the
ancient
highway
shine
here
like
diamonds
in
the
night
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
trance
like
vision
Along
that
road
with
the
trance
like
vision
Drivin
on
home,
on
my
mind,
on
mymind
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
And
on
that
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
on
my
mind
Got
you
in
my
arms
and
I′m
praying
and
I'm
gonna
pray
I'm
gonna
pray
to
my
higher
self,
don′t,
ah
don′t
let
me
down
Ah,
don't
let
me
down
Give
me
the
fire,
ah,
give
me
the
fire
