Graceland — текст песни (Paul Simon)

The mississippi delta was shining

Like a national guitar

I am following the river

Down the highway

Through the cradle of the civil war

Im going to graceland

Graceland

In memphis tennessee

Im going to graceland

Poorboys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to graceland

My traveling companion is nine years old

He is the child of my first marriage

But Ive reason to believe

We both will be received

In graceland



She comes back to tell me shes gone

As if I didnt know that

As if I didnt know my own bed

As if Id never noticed

The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she said losing love

Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees youre blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow



Im going to graceland

Memphis tennessee

Im going to graceland

Poorboys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to graceland



And my traveling companions

Are ghosts and empty sockets

Im looking at ghosts and empties

But Ive reason to believe

We all will be received

In graceland



There is a girl in new york city

Who calls herself the human trampoline

And sometimes when Im falling, flying

Or tumbling in turmoil I say

Oh, so this is what she means

She means were bouncing into graceland

And I see losing love

Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees youre blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow



In graceland, in graceland

Im going to graceland

For reasons I cannot explain

Theres some part of me wants to see

Graceland

And I may be obliged to defend

Every love, every ending

Or maybe theres no obligations now

Maybe Ive a reason to believe

We all will be received

In graceland
