Paul Simon - Love and Blessings lyrics
[Paul Simon - Love and Blessings lyrics]
Fell like rain on thirsty land
Fields and gardens long abandoned
Came to life in dust and sand
Lover's lips sweet as honey
Touched as if old love was new
Banker's pockets overflowing with
Gold and money
Prophesies of wealth come true
(Bop-bop-a-whoa) Ain't no song like
An old song, charlie
(Bop-bop-a-whoa) There's no song like
An old song
(Bop-bop-a-whoa) There ain't no time like
A good time Charlie
(Bop-bop-a-whoa) Ain't no times like
The good times, charlie
Bop-bop-a-whoa, whoa
Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa
Everywhere you look anywhere you go
Everybody working for the Bop-bop-a-whoa
Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa
Can't get enough of the Bop-bop-a-whoa
Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa
If the summer kept a secret
It was heaven's lack of rain
Golden days and amber sunsets
Let the scientists complain
Came the autumn, drained of color
Ghosts in the water beg for more
Maple trees just a little bit duller
Than the memory of the year before
In a word, or in an image
Something called me from my sleep
Love and blessings, simple kindness
Ours to hold but not to keep
