Van Morrison - Across The Bridge Where Angels Dwell (San Fransisco 17-11-1981)


Dit nummer staat op van Van Morrison,s 13e album Beautiful Vision.Het kwam uit in February 1982 by Warner Bros.Al een tijdje niet gedraait (LP) ,het is zeker niet Van,s beste album maar natuurlijk toch met een paar pareltjes.Onderstaand nummer vind ik erg mooi,zeker deze "live" versie.Volgens Morrison biographers gaat de song over de brug die zijn huis in Mill Valley scheidde van San Mateo ,het huis waar zijn dochter Shana woonde met zijn ex Janet Rigbee.

 Live at the Great American Music Hall ,San Fransisco 17-11-1981

Across the bridge where angels dwell
Across the bridge where angels
Across the bridge where angels dwell
Children play

Beyond the place where time is still
Beyond the place where time is
Beyond the place where time is still
Night is day

Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream

Along the path where heaven lies
Along the path where heaven
Along the path where heaven lies
All is clear

Ahead where home awaits the heart
Ahead where home is waiting
Ahead where home awaits the heart
Peace is near

Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
Close your eyes and dream

Across the bridge where angels dwell
Across the bridge where angels
Across the bridge where angels dwell
Children play
