Lyrics for The Obvious Child by Paul Simon:
| | | Artist: | Paul Simon |
| | Album: | Rhythm Of The Saints | | Track: | The Obvious Child | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 93 | | | | Lyrics: | Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't
expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some
people say a lie's a lie's a lie
But I say why
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny
the obvious child?
And in remembering a road sign
I am remembering a girl when I was
young
And we said These songs are true
These days are ours
These tears are
free
And hey
The cross is in the ballpark
The cross is in the ballpark
We had a
lot of fun
We had a lot of money
We had a little son and we thought we'd call him
Sonny
Sonny gets married and moves away
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
Sonny gets
sunnier
Day by day by day by day
Doh, doh, doh, doh
Doh, doh, doh, doh
Well,
I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the
night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I
say
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
Sonny sits by his window
and thinks to himself
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
Sonny's yearbook
from high school
Is down from the shelf
And he id-ly thumbs through the pages
Some
have died
Some have fled from themselves
Or struggled from here to get there
Sonny
wanders beyond his interior walls
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair
Well, I'm
accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be
treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a
lie's is just a lie
But I say
the cross is in the ballpark
