(Paul Simon)
|
If you want to write a song about the moon
|
Walk along the craters of the afternoon
|
When the shadows are deep
|
And the light is alien
|
And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement
|
And you want to write a song about the moon
|
You want to write a spiritual tune
|
Then nah nah nah
|
Presto
|
Song about about the moon
|
If you want to write a song about the heart
|
Think about the moon before you start
|
Because the heart will howl
|
Like a dog in the moonlight
|
And the heart can explode
|
Like a pistol on a June night
|
So if you want to write a song about the heart
|
And its ever-longing for a counterpart
|
Write a song about the moon
|
The laughing boy
|
He laughed so hard
|
He fell down from his place
|
The laughing girl
|
She laughed so hard
|
The tears rolled down her face
|
Hey Songwriter
|
If you want to write a song about
|
A face
|
Think about a photograph
|
That you really can't remember
|
But you can't erase
|
Wash your hands in dreams and lightning
|
Cut off your hair
|
And whatever is frightening
|
If you want to write a song
|
About a face
|
If you want to write a song about
|
The human race
|
Write a song about the moon
|
If you want to write a song about the moon
|
You want to write a spiritual tune
|
THEN DO IT
|
Write a song about the moon
|
