[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
