2.Graceland(Remastered Album Version)

作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon

The Mississippi delta aas 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, 'Whoa'
'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 feels the wind blow
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

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

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Whoa
In Graceland
In Graceland
In Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
