Hearts and Bones歌词

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……

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……

And whoa……
She said, "Why? Why don’t we drive through the night?
We'll wake up down in Mexico"
Oh, I, I don't know nothin' about, nothin' about no 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
Return 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……
