Paul Simon — Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall

[Verse 1] Through the corridors of sleep Past the shadows dark and deep My mind dances and leaps in confusion I don't know what is real I can't touch what I feel And I hide behind the shield of my illusion [Chorus] So I'll continue to continue to pretend My life will never end And flowers never bend with the rainfall [Verse 2] The mirror on my wall Casts an image dark and small But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection I am blinded by the light Of God and truth and right And I wander in the night without direction [Chorus] [Verse 3] It's no matter if you're born To play the King or pawn For the line is thinly drawn between joy and sorrow So my fantasy Becomes reality And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow [Chorus]
