Text: Van Morrison. Saint Dominic's Preview. Almost Independence Day.

I can hear them calling, way from Oregon
I can hear them calling, way from Oregon
And it's almost independence day

Me and my lady, we go steppin', we go steppin'
We go steppin', way out on China Town
All to buy some Hong Kong silver and the wadin' rushin' river

We go steppin'
We go out on the
Out on the town tonight

I can hear the fireworks
I can hear the fireworks
I can hear the fireworks

Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay
Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay

I can hear them echoing
I can hear, I can hear them echoing
I can hear, hear them echoing

Up and down the, up and down the
Up and down the San Francisco Bay

I can see the boats in the harbor
Way across the harbor
Lights shinin' out, lights shinin' out

And a cool, cool night and a cool, cool night
And a cool and a cool and a cool
And a cool cool night across the harbor

I can hear the fireworks
I can hear the people, people, people shoutin' out
I can hear the people shoutin' out, up and down the line

Up and down the line and it's almost
And it's almost independence day

I can see the lights way out in the harbor
And the cool and the cool and the cool and the cool night
And the cool and the cool, cool night breeze

And I feel the cool night breeze
And I, I feel, feel, feel, feel the cool night breeze
And the boats go by

And it's almost independence
Almost independence day
And it's, and it's, and it's almost
And it's almost independence day

Way up and down the line
Way up, way up and down the line
Way up and down the line
Way up, way up and down the line

Way up, way up, way up and down the line
Way up and, way up and down the line
Way up and down the line
Way up and way up and down the line

Way up and down the line
Way up and down the line
Way up and down the line
