Lyrics

[ti:Everything About It Is a Love Song]
[ar:Paul Simon]
[al:]
[00:00.00] Locked in a struggle for the right combination
[00:34.99] Of words in a melody line
[00:41.69] I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination
[00:48.83] Golden clouds were shuffling the sunshine
[00:55.61] But if I ever get back to the twentieth century
[01:00.01] Guess I'll have to pay off some debts
[01:03.68] Open the book of my vanishing memory
[01:06.99] With its catalogue of regrets
[01:10.98] Stand up for the deeds I did, and those I didn't do
[01:17.90] Sit down, shut up, think about God
[01:20.67] And wait for the hour of my rescue
[01:42.75] We don't mean to mess things up
[01:44.87] But mess them up we do
[01:47.72] And then it's "Oh, I'm sorry."
[01:56.00] Here's a smiling photograph
[01:58.42] Of love when it was new
[02:01.86] At a birthday party
[02:10.02] Make a wish and close your eyes
[02:16.35] Surprise, surprise, surprise
[02:29.46] Early December, and brown as a sparrow
[02:35.89] Frost creeping over the pond
[02:41.49] I shoot a thought into the future
[02:45.26] And it flies like an arrow, through my liftime
[02:52.46] And beyond
[02:56.17] If I ever come back as a tree, or a crow
[03:00.33] Or even the wind-blown dust
[03:03.98] Find me on the ancient road
[03:06.98] In the song when the wires are hushed
[03:10.97] Hurry on and remember me
[03:13.38] As I'll remember you
[03:17.84] Far above the golden clouds
[03:20.97] The darkness vibrates
[03:26.99] The earth is blue
[03:30.96] And everything about it is a love song
[03:35.23] Everything about it
[03:38.46] Everything about it is a love song
[03:42.04] Everything about it
[03:45.54] Everything about it is a love song
