Song About The Moon Lyrics

If you want to write a song about the moon Walk along the craters of the afternoon When the shadows are deep and the light is alien And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement
And you want to write a song about the moon You want to write a spiritual tune Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah Presto, a song about the moon
If you want to write a song about the heart Think about the moon before you start Because the heart will howl like a dog in the moonlight And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night
So if you want to write a song about the heart And it's ever longing for a counterpart Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah Write a song about the moon
The laughing boy, he laughed so hard [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/song-about-the-moon-lyrics-paul-simon.html ] He fell down from his place The laughing girl, she laughed so hard The tears rolled down her face
Hey songwriter, if you want to write a song about a face Think about a photograph That you really can't remember but you can't erase Wash your hands in dreams and lightning Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening
If you want to write a song about a face If you want to write a song about the human race Then nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah Write a song about the moon
If you want to write a song about the moon You want to write a spiritual tune Nah nah, nah nah nah nah, yeah yeah yeah, then do it Write a song about the moon
