Paul Simon — She Moves On

[Verse 1] I feel good, it's a fine day The way the sun hits off the runway A cloud shifts, the plane lifts She moves on [Verse 2] Feel the bite whenever you believe That you'll be lost and love will find you When the road bends and the song ends She moves on [Verse 3] I know the reason I feel so blessed My heart still splashes inside my chest But she, she is like a top, she cannot stop She moves on [Verse 4] A sympathetic stranger Lights a candle in the middle of the night Her voice cracks, she jumps back But she moves on [Chorus 1] She says "Ooh, my storybook lover You have underestimated my power as you shortly will discover" Then I fall to my knees, shake a rattle at the skies I'm afraid that I'll be taken Abandoned, forsaken in her cold coffee eyes [Verse 5] She can't sleep now, the moon is red She fights a fever, she burns in bed She needs to talk so we take a walk Down in the moon light [Verse 6] She says maybe these emotions are as near to love as love will ever be So I agree Then the moon breaks, she takes the corner, that's all she takes She moves on [Chorus 2] She says "Ooh, my storybook lover You have underestimated my power, as you shortly will discover" Then I fall to my knees, I grow weak, I go slack As if she captured the breath of my voice in a bottle And I can't catch it back [Outro] But I feel good, it's a fine day The way the sun hits off the runway A cloud shifts, the plane lifts She moves on
