Coney Island Songtext
von Van Morrison

Coming down from Downpatrick"
"Stopping off at St. John′s Point"
"Out all day birdwatching and the craic was good"
"Stopped off at Strangford Lough"
"Stopped early in the morning"
"Drove through Shrigley taking pictures"
"And on to Killyleagh"
"Stopped off for Sunday papers at the
Lecale District, just before Coney Island"


"On and on,
Over the hill to Ardglass in the
Jamjar, autumn sunshine, magnificent"
"And all shining through"
"Stop off at Ardglass for a couple of jars of mussels and
Some potted herrings in case we get famished before dinner"

"On and on, over the hill and the craic is good"
"Heading towards Coney Island"

"I look at the side of your face as the sunlight
Comes streaming through the window in the autumn sunshine"
"And all the time going to Coney Island I'm thinking"
"Wouldn′t it be great if it was like this all the time?"
