Paul Simon — Darling Lorraine 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
