Paul Simon — Thats Me

[Verse 1] Well I'll just skip the boring parts Chapters one, two, three And get to the place where you can read my face And my biography [Verse 2] Here I am, I'm eleven months old Dangling from my daddy's knee There I go, it's my graduation I'm picking up a bogus degree [Refrain] That's me, early me That's me, that's me [Chorus] Well I never cared much for the money And money never cared for me I was more like a land-locked sailor Searching for the emerald sea Just searching for the emerald sea, boys Searching for the sea [Verse 3] Oh my God First love opens like a flower A black bear running through the forest light Holds me in her sight and her power [Verse 4] But tricky skies, your eyes are true The future is beauty and sorrow Still, I wish that we could run away and live the life we used to If just for tonight and tomorrow [Verse 5] I am walking up the face of the mountain Counting every step I climb Remembering the names of the constellations Forgotten is a long, long time [Verse 6] That's me, I'm in the valley of twilight Now I'm on the continental shelf That's me, I'm answering a question I am asking of myself [Refrain] That's me, that's me That's me, that's me
