Graceland Lyric Paul Simon THE PAUL SIMON COLLECTION:

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
In Memphis Tennessee

I'm 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 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
And she said
losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown
apart
Everybody sees the wind blow

I'm going to Graceland

Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poorboys and Pilgrims with
families
And we are going to Graceland

And my traveling companions

Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But
I've 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 I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil
I say
Oh, so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing into
Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blow


In Graceland, in Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
For reasons I
cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland
And I
may be obliged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe there's no
obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received

In Graceland
