(Paul Simon)
|
Rene and Georgette Magritte
|
With their dog after the war
|
Returned to their hotelsuite
|
And they unlocked the door
|
Easily losing their evening clothes
|
They dance by the light of the moon
|
To The Penguins
|
The Moonglows
|
The Orioles
|
and The Five Satins
|
The deep forbidden music
|
They'd been longing for
|
Rene and Georgette Magritte
|
With their dog after the war
|
Rene and Georgette Magritte
|
With their dog after the war
|
Were strolling down Christopher Street
|
When they stopped in a men's store
|
With all of the mannequins
|
Dressed in the style
|
That brought tears to their
|
Immigrant eyes
|
Just like The Penguins
|
The Moonglows
|
The Orioles
|
and The Five Satins
|
The easy stream of laughter
|
Flowing through the air
|
Rene and Georgette Magritte
|
With their dog apres la guerre
|
Side by side
|
They fell asleep
|
Decades gliding by like Indians
|
Time is cheap
|
When they wake up they will find
|
All their personal belongings
|
Have intertwined
|
Rene and Georgette Magritte
|
With their dog after the war
|
Were dining with the power elite
|
And they looked in their bedroom drawer
|
And what do you think
|
They have hidden away
|
In the cabinet cold of their hearts?
|
The Penguins
|
The Moonglows
|
The Orioles
|
and The Five Satins
|
For now and ever after
|
As it was before
|
Rene and Georgette Magritte With their dog
|
After the war
