Lyrics for Graceland by Paul Simon:
| | | Artist: | Paul Simon |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Graceland | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 79 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
Whoa, 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
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, in Graceland, in Graceland,in Graceland
I'm going to
