Graceland

Paul Simon - 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, memphis tennesee
i'm going to graceland
poor boys, pilgrims with families and we are going to graceland
my travelling companion is nine years old, the child of my first marriage
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

she said losing love is like a window in your heart
and everybody sees you're blown apart
everybody feels the wind blow

i'm going to graceland, graceland, memphis tennesee
i'm going to graceland
poor boys, pilgrims with families and we are going to graceland

my travelling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
looking at ghosts and empties
i've reason to believe we all will be received in graceland

there's a girl in new york city who calls herself the human trampoline
sometimes when i'm falling, flying, tumbling in turmoil
i say oh so this is what she means

i see losing love is like a window in your heart
and everybody sees you're blown apart
everybody feels the wind blow
ooh oh oh
into graceland
into graceland

i'm going to graceland
for reasons i cannot explain some part of me wants to see graceland
i may be obliged to defend every love every ending
or maybe there's no obligations now
maybe i've reason to believe we all will be received in graceland

i'm going to graceland
ooh oh oh oh
graceland, graceland, i'm going to graceland
