Hearts and Bones
Paul Simon
One and one-half wandering Jews Free to wander wherever they choose Are travelling together In the Sangre de Cristo The Blood of Christ Mountains Of New Mexico On the last leg of the journey They started a long time ago The arc of a love affair Rainbows in the high desert air Mountain passes slipping into stones Hearts and bones Hearts and bones Hearts and bones Thinking back to the season before Looking back through the cracks in the door Two people were married The act was outrageous The bride was contagious She burned like a bride These events may have had some effect On the man with the girl by his side The arc of a love affair His hands rolling down her hair Love like lightning shaking till it moans Hearts and bones Hearts and bones Hearts and bones And whoa whoa whoa She said why? Why don't we drive through the night And we'll wake up down in Mexico Oh I I don't know nothin' about nothin' About Mexico And tell me why Why won't you love me For who I am Where I am He said: 'Cause that's not the way the world is baby This is how I love you, baby This is how I love you, baby One and one-half wandering Jews Returned to their natural coasts To resume old acquaintances Step out occasionally And speculate who had been damaged the most Easy time will determine if these consolations Will be their reward The arc of a love affair Waiting to be restored You take two bodies and you twirl them into one Their hearts and their bones And they won't come undone Hearts and bones Hearts and bones Hearts and bones Hearts and bonesamericana Beatlesque beautiful body parts broken home classic rock easy listening epic folk folk rock heartbeat intelligent jesus lifes great adventure Love Maps and legends Mellow memory pop relaxing rock Rock/Pop romantic sad Sentimental singer-songwriter sky soft rock songs I absolutely love Sweet Songs
