Artist/Band: Van Morrison
Lyrics for Song: Saint Dominic's Preview
Lyrics for Album: It's Too Late To Stop Now [1974]



Chamois cleanin' all the windows

Singin' songs about Edith Piaf's soul

And I hear blue strings of no regrets

Cross the street from Cathedral Notre Dame



Meanwhile back in San Fancisco

I tried hard to make this whole thing blend

And we sit up on this jagged

Think it's about story block, with you my friend



And it's a long way, long way to Buffalo

It's a long way to Belfast, too

And I'm hoping that Joyce won't blow the hoist

'Cause this time that bit of more than they can chew



As we gaze out on it, as we gaze out on it

As we gaze out on it, Saint Dominic's Preview

Saint Dominic's Preview

Saint Dominic's Preview



All the orange crates is scattered

I guess the Safeway Supermarket in the rain

Everybody feels so determined

Not to feel anyone else's pain



No one making no commitments

To anybody but themselves

Talkin' behind closed doorways

Tryin' to get outside at the empty shelves



And for ev'ry cross country corner

Ev'ry Hank Williams railroad train that cried

All the chains n' badges and flags and emblems

Ev'ry strain on ev'ry brain and ev'ry eye



As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

As we gaze out on, Saint Dominic's Preview, hu!

Saint Dominic's Preview, hey-hey

Saint Dominic's Preview



Oh, the restaurants tables are completely covered

Covered, covered, covered

And the comp'ny's paid out for the wine

You got ev'rything in the world you wanted, don't ya?

Right about now your face should wear a smile

You know it



That's the way it all should happen

In the fairytale state you're in

Have you got your pen and notebook ready?

Sign right here, sign right here

Now when you get in



You're way over on to the 52nd street apartment

Socializing with the winos, too

Just to be and get wet with the jet set

But they was flyin' too high

To see my point of view
