Lyrics for On Hyndford Street by Van Morrison:
| | | Artist: | Van Morrison |
| | Album: | Hymns To The Silence | | Track: | On Hyndford Street | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 183 | | | | Lyrics: | Take me back, take me way, way, way back
On Hyndford Street
Where you could feel the
silence at half past eleven
On long summer nights
As the wireless played Radio
Luxembourg
And the voices whispered across Beechie River
In the quietness as we sank into
restful slumber in the silence
And carried on dreaming, in God
And walks up Cherry Valley
from North Road Bridge, railway line
On sunny summer afternoons
Picking apples from the
side of the tracks
That spilled over from the gardens of the houses on Cyprus
Avenue
Watching the moth catcher working the floodlights in the evenings
And meeting down
by the pylons
Playing round Mrs. Kelly's lamp
Going out to Holywood on the bus
And
walking from the end of the lines to the seaside
Stopping at Fusco's for ice cream
In the
days before rock 'n' roll
Hyndford Street, Abetta Parade
Orangefield, St. Donard's
Church
Sunday six bells, and in between the silence there was conversation
And laughter,
and music and singing, and shivers up the back of the neck
And tuning in to Luxembourg late at
night
And jazz and blues records during the day
Also Debussy on the third
programme
Early mornings when contemplation was best
Going up the Castlereagh
hills
And the cregagh glens in summer and coming back
To Hyndford Street, feeling wondrous
and lit up inside
With a sense of everlasting life
And reading Mr. Jelly Roll and Big Bill
Broonzy
And Really The Blues by Mezz Mezzrow
And Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac
Over and
over again
And voices echoing late at night over Beechie River
And it's always being now,
and it's always being now
It's always now
Can you feel the silence?
On Hyndford
Street where you could feel the silence
At half past eleven on long summer nights
As the
wireless played Radio Luxembourg
And the voices whispered across Beechie River
And in the
quietness we sank into restful slumber in silence
And carried on dreaming in God | | | |
