Van Morrison
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Shammy cleaning all the windows
2
Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul
3
And I hear blue strains of no regredior
4
Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame
5
Meanwhile back in San Francisco
6
We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend
7
As we sit upon this jagged
8
Storey block, with you my friend
9
And it's a long way to Buffalo
10
It's a long way to Belfast city too
11
And I'm hoping the choice won't blow the hoist
12
'Cause this town, they bit off more than they can chew.
13
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
14
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

All the orange boxes are scattered
19
Against the safeway's supermarket in the rain
20
And everybody feels so determined
21
Not to feel anyone else's pain
22
No one's making no commitments
23
To anybody but themselves
24
Talkin' behind closed doorways
25
Tryin' to get outside, get outside of empty shells
26
And for every cross cuttin' country corner, country corner
27
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
28
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
29
And every strain on brain and every eye
30
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
31
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

35
And the restaurant tables are completely covered
36
The record company has paid out for the wine
37
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
38
Right about now your face should wear a smile
39
That's the way it all should happen
40
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in
41
You've got your pen and notebook ready
42
I think it's about time, time for us to begin
43
And meanwhile we're over in a 52nd Street apartment
44
Socializing with the wino few
45
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
46
But they're flying too high to see my point of view
47
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
48
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

See them freedom marching
53
Out on the street, freedom marching

Out in the street
56
Look at the man
57
Turn around
58
Come back, come back
59
Turn around
60
Look at the man
61
Says hold on
