PAUL SIMON lyrics : "song about the moon"

If you want to write a song about the moon

Walk along the craters of the afternoon


When the shadows are deep and the light is alien


And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement




And you want to write a song about the moon


You want to write a spiritual tune

Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah


Presto, a song about the moon




If you want to write a song about the heart


Think about the moon before you start


Because the heart will howl like a dog in the moonlight

And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night





So if you want to write a song about the heart

And it's ever longing for a counterpart


Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah


Write a song about the moon




The laughing boy, he laughed so hard


He fell down from his place

The laughing girl, she laughed so hard


The tears rolled down her face




Hey songwriter, if you want to write a song about a face


Think about a photograph


That you really can't remember but you can't erase

Wash your hands in dreams and lightning


Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening




If you want to write a song about a face


If you want to write a song about the human race


Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah

Write a song about the moon





If you want to write a song about the moon

You want to write a spiritual tune


Nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah, then do it

Write a song about the moon
