Lyrics for The Cool Cool River by Paul Simon:
| | | Artist: | Paul Simon |
| | Album: | The Rhythm Of The Saints | | Track: | The Cool Cool River | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | Moves like a fist through traffic
Anger and no one can heal it
Shoves a little bump into
the momentum
It's just a little lump
But you feel it
In the creases and the
shadows
With a rattling deep emotion
The cool, cool river
Sweeps the wild, white
ocean
Yes Boss. The government handshake
Yes Boss. The crusher of language
Yes
Boss. Mr. Stillwater,
The face at the edge of the banquet
The cool, the cool
river
The cool, the cool river
I believe in the future
I may live in my
car
My radio tuned to
The voice of a star
Song dogs barking at the break of
dawn
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
And these old hopes and fears
Still
at my side
Anger and no one can heal it
Slides through the metal detector
Lives
like a mole in a motel
A slide in a slide projector
The cool, cool river
Sweeps the
wild, white ocean
The rage of love turns inward
To prayers of devotion
And these
prayers are
The constant road across the wilderness
These prayers are
These prayers
are the memory of God
The memory of God
And I believe in the future
We shall
suffer no more
Maybe not in my lifetime
But in yours I feel sure
Song dogs barking at
the break of dawn
Lightning pushes the edges of a thunderstorm
And these
streets
Quiet as a sleeping army
Send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven
For
the mother's restless son
Who is a witness to, who is a warrior
Who denies his urge to
break and run
Who says: Hard times?
I'm used to them
The speeding planet
burns
I'm used to that
My life's so common it disappears
And sometimes even
music
Cannot substitute for tears | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
