[00:00.00] 作词 : Morrison
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Van Morrison
[00:36.93]There's a small cafe on the outskirts of town
[00:43.80]I'll be there when the sun goes down
[00:48.75]Where the roadside bends
[00:50.40]And it twists and turns
[00:53.64]Every new generation
[00:58.20]And I'll be praying to my higher self
[01:04.44]Don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground
[01:17.67]There's a roadside jam playin' on the edge of town
[01:23.04]In a town called Paradise near the ancient highway
[01:27.60]When the train whistle blows
[01:30.09]All the sadness that Hank Williams knows
[01:34.38]And the river flows
[01:36.00]Call them pagan streams and it spins and turns
[01:40.59]In a factory in a street called Bread in East Belfast
[01:45.30]Where Georgie knows best
[01:47.58]What it's like to be Daniel in the lion's den
[01:51.54]Got so many friends only most of the time
[02:02.01]When the grass is high and the rabbit runs
[02:05.34]Though it's talkin' to you and I
[02:07.74]And every new generation comes to pay
[02:11.46]The dues of the organ grinder jam
[02:14.04]And the grinder's switch of the sacrifice
[02:18.39]Everybody made to be rational with understanding
[02:27.06]And I'll be praying to my higher self
[02:32.49]Oh, don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground
[02:43.77]What about all the people living in the nightmare hurt
[02:47.07]That won't go away no matter how hard they try
[02:50.79]They've got to pay time and time again, time and time again
[02:58.05]I'll be praying to my higher self
[03:00.00]And I'll be standin' there, where the boats go by
[03:06.78]When the sun is sinking way over the hill
[03:11.52]On a Friday evening when the sun goes down
[03:14.58]On the outskirts of town, I wanna slip away
[03:19.80]I wanna slip away, got to get away
[03:23.31]And I'll be praying to my higher self
[03:28.02]Don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground, don't let me down
[03:41.49]You'll be cryin' again, you'll be cryin' again, you'll be cryin' again
[03:46.74]By the same wipe the teardrops from your eyes
[03:50.91]Have to slip away in the evening when the sun goes down
[03:54.30]Over the hill, with a sense of wonder
[03:57.81]Everything gonna be right on a Friday evening
[04:01.56]All the cars go by all along down
[04:03.81]The ancient highway
[04:05.46]And I'll be praying, I'll be praying to my higher self
[04:11.67]Don't let me down, keep my feet, keep my feet on the ground
[04:18.03]Keep my feet on the ground
[04:25.38]Travelling like a stranger in the night, all along the ancient highway
[04:30.63]Got you in my sights, got you on my mind
[04:35.37]I'll be praying in the evening when the sun goes down
[04:38.76]Over the mountain, got to get you right in my sight
[04:42.57]As the beams on the cars from the overpass
[04:45.51]On the ancient highway shine like diamonds in the night
[04:48.30]Like diamonds in the night
[05:00.00]I'll be praying to my higher self, to my higher self
[05:01.77]Don't let me down, don't let me down
[05:51.15]And you'll be standing there, while the boats go by
[05:54.60]While the boats go by on a Friday evening
[06:02.43]Shining your light, shining your light on a Friday evening
[06:05.52]Got to slip away, got to slip away down that ancient highway
[06:11.85]In a town called Paradise, in a town, in a town
[06:18.06]All along, all along that road, all along that road,
[06:21.12]All along that road with the trancelike vision
[06:30.60]I'll be praying to my higher self, don't let me down, don't let me down
[06:34.65]Keep my feet on the ground, keep my feet on the ground,
[06:42.09]Keep my feet on the ground
[06:46.95]Friday evening got to slip away
[06:51.24]Watching the view from a car from the overpass
[06:54.84]And we're driving down that ancient road
[06:57.93]Shining like diamonds in the night, oh diamonds in the night
[07:04.44]All along the ancient highway
[07:05.13]Got you in my sight, got you in my mind
[07:10.44]Got you in my arms and I'm praying, and I'm gonna pray
[07:14.10]I'm gonna pray, to my higher self, ah don't let me down
[07:21.99]Don't let me down, give me the fire, ah give me the fire
