PAUL SIMON lyrics : "graceland"

The mississippi delta was shining

Like a national guitar


I am following the river


Down the highway

Through the cradle of the civil war


I'm going to graceland


Graceland

In memphis tennessee


I'm going to graceland


Poorboys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to graceland


My traveling companion is nine years old


He is the child of my first marriage

But I've reason to believe


We both will be received


In graceland




She comes back to tell me she's gone


As if I didn't know that

As if I didn't know my own bed


As if I'd never noticed


The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she said losing love


Is like a window in your heart


Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow





I'm going to graceland

Memphis tennessee


I'm going to graceland


Poorboys and pilgrims with families




And we are going to graceland




And my traveling companions


Are ghosts and empty sockets


I'm looking at ghosts and empties

But I've reason to believe


We all will be received

In graceland




There is a girl in new york city

Who calls herself the human trampoline


And sometimes when I'm falling, flying

Or tumbling in turmoil I say


Oh, so this is what she means

She means we're bouncing into graceland

And I see losing love


Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow




In graceland, in graceland

I'm going to graceland


For reasons I cannot explain

There's some part of me wants to see

Graceland

And I may be obliged to defend


Every love, every ending

Or maybe there's no obligations now

Maybe I've a reason to believe


We all will be received

In graceland
