Darling Lorraine (In the Blue Light 2018)

Текст песни Paul Simon and YMusic - Darling Lorraine (In the Blue Light 2018)

[Verse 1]
The first time I saw her
I couldn't be sure
But the sin of impatience
Said, "She's just what you're looking for"
So I walked right up to her
And with the part of me that talks
I introduced myself as Frank
From New York, New York, New York

[Chorus 1]
She's so hot
She's so cool
I'm not
I'm just a fool in love
With Darling Lorraine
[Verse 2]
All my life I've been a wanderer
Not really
I rented a room in my parents' place
Anyway, so anyway, Lorraine and I got married
And the usual marriage stuff
And then one day she says to me
From out of the blue, she says
"Frank, I've had enough"

[Chorus 2]
"Romance is a heart breaker
And I'm not meant to be a homemaker
And I'm tired of being
Darling Lorraine"

[Bridge 1]
What!? You don't love me anymore?
What!? You're walking out the door?
What!? You don't like the way I chew?
Well, hey, let me tell you
You're not the woman that I wed
You say you're depressed, but you're not
You just like to stay in bed
I don't need you, Lorraine
Darling Lorraine
Lorraine
I long for your love
[Verse 3]
Financially speaking
I guess I'm a washout
Everybody's buy and sell
And sell and buy
That's what the whole thing's all about
If it had not been for Lorraine
I'd have left here a long time ago
I should have been a musician
I love the piano

[Chorus 3]
She's so light
She's so free
I'm tight, but that's me
Still I feel so good
With Darling Lorraine

[Bridge 2]
On Christmas morning Frank awakes
To find Lorraine has made a stack of pancakes
They watch the television, a husband and wife
All afternoon, "It's a Wonderful Life"

[Bridge 1]
What!? You don't love me anymore?
What!? You're walking out the door?
What!? You don't like the way I chew?
Hey, let me tell you
You're not the woman that I wed
Give me my robe, I'm going back to bed
I'm sick to death of you, Lorraine
Sick to death of you
[Verse 4]
Darling Lorraine
Lorraine
Her hands like wood
The doctor was smiling
But the news wasn't good
The news wasn't good
Darling Lorraine
Please don't leave me yet
I know you're in pain
A pain you can't forget
Your breathing is like an echo of our love
Maybe I'll go down to the corner store
And buy us something sweet
Here's an extra blanket, honey
To wrap around your feet

[Chorus 4]
All the trees were washed with April rain
And the moon in the meadow
Took Darling Lorraine
