Spirit Voices Lyrics

Paul Simon

We sailed up a river, wild as a sea Slept on the banks on the leaves of a banyan tree And all of these spirit voices rule the night
Some stories are magical, meant to be sung Songs from the mouth of the river when the world was young And all of these spirit voices rule the night
By moon we walk to the Brujo's door Along a path of river stones Women with their nursing children seated on the floor We join the fevers and the broken bones
Candlelight flickers the falcon calls A lime green lizard scuttles down the cabin wall And all of these spirit voices
Sing rain water, sea water, river water, holy water Wrap this child in mercy heal her Heaven's only daughter All of these spirit voices rule the night
My hands were numb, my feet were lead I drank a cup of herbal brew Then the sweetness in the air Combined with the lightness in my head An' I heard the jungle breathing in the bamboo
Saudacoes D'a lic'enca um momento Te lembr'o Que amanha Ser'a tudo ou ser'a naoa Depende, cora, cao Ser'a breve ou ser'a grande Depende da paixao Ser'a sujo, ser'a sonho Cuidado, cora, cao Ser'a 'util, ser'a tarde Se esmera, cora, cao E confia Na for,ca do amanha
The Lord of the earthquake My trembling bed The spider resumes the rhythm On it's golden thread And all of these spirit voices rule the night ([Foreign Content]) And all of these spirit voices rule the night ([Foreign Content]) And all of these spirit voices rule the night ([Foreign Content])
