Graceland — текст песни (Simon and Garfunkel)

(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

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 sees 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
