[00:00.00]Paul Simon - Graceland - Paul Simon
[00:42.76]The Mississippi delta was shining
[00:45.11]Like a national guitar
[00:50.37]I am following the river
[00:52.12]Down the highway
[00:53.30]Through the cradle of the civil war
[00:57.87]I'm going to Graceland
[00:59.87]Graceland
[01:01.05]In Memphis Tennessee
[01:02.24]I'm going to Graceland
[01:07.24]Poor boys and pilgrims with families
[01:09.87]And we are going to Graceland
[01:15.39]My traveling companion is nine years old
[01:18.89]He is the child of my first marriage
[01:23.45]But I've reason to believe
[01:25.01]We both will be received
[01:27.44]In Graceland
[01:34.88]She comes back to tell me she's gone
[01:39.50]As if I didn't know that
[01:41.62]As if I didn't know my own bed
[01:47.69]As if I'd never noticed
[01:49.94]The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
[01:55.25]And she said losing love
[01:58.76]Is like a window in your heart
[02:02.57]Everybody sees you're blown apart
[02:07.38]Everybody sees the wind blow
[02:11.44]I'm going to Graceland
[02:14.31]Memphis Tennessee
[02:16.32]I'm going to Graceland
[02:20.63]Poor boys and pilgrims with families
[02:23.50]And we are going to Graceland
[02:28.25]And my traveling companions
[02:30.07]Are ghosts and empty sockets
[02:32.26]I'm looking at ghosts and empties
[02:36.88]But I've reason to believe
[02:38.38]We all will be received
[02:40.63]In Graceland
[02:48.32]There is a girl in New York City
[02:50.75]Who calls herself the human trampoline
[02:56.82]And sometimes when I'm falling flying
[02:57.75]Or tumbling in turmoil I say
[03:01.09]Oh so this is what she means
[03:03.02]She means we're bouncing into Graceland
[03:08.52]And I see losing love
[03:11.90]Is like a window in your heart
[03:15.71]And everybody sees you're blown apart
[03:20.52]Everybody feels the wind blow
[03:25.46]In Graceland in Graceland
[03:27.08]I'm going to Graceland
[03:27.89]For reasons I cannot explain
[03:28.70]There's some part of me wants to see
[03:30.08]Graceland
[03:33.82]Poor boys and pilgrims with families
[03:36.58]And we are going to Graceland
[03:41.94]My traveling companion is nine years old
[03:45.57]He is the child of my first marriage
[03:50.14]But I've reason to believe
[03:51.67]We both will be received
[03:54.17]In Graceland
[04:01.43]She comes back to tell me she's gone
[04:06.12]As if I didn't know that
[04:08.43]As if I didn't know my own bed
[04:14.37]As if I'd never noticed
[04:16.62]The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
[04:21.94]And she said losing love
[04:25.44]Is like a window in your heart
[04:29.25]Everybody sees you're blown apart
[04:34.44]Everybody sees the wind blow
[04:38.12]I'm going to Graceland
[04:40.94]Memphis Tennessee
[04:42.87]I'm going to Graceland
[04:47.31]Poor boys and pilgrims with families
[04:50.63]And we are going to Graceland
[04:54.99]And my traveling companions
[04:56.81]Are ghosts and empty sockets
[04:58.87]I'm looking at ghosts and empties

[05:42.37]And everybody sees you're blown apart
[05:47.12]Everybody feels the wind blow
[05:51.81]In Graceland in Graceland
[05:55.19]I'm going to Graceland
[05:59.39]For reasons I cannot explain
[06:01.89]There's some part of me wants to see
[06:04.07]Graceland
[06:07.45]And I may be advised to defend
[06:09.82]Every love every ending
[06:11.50]Or maybe there's no obligations now
[06:15.87]Maybe I've a reason to believe
[06:18.19]We all will be received
[06:20.37]In Graceland
[06:23.68]I'm going to Graceland
