Graceland Songtext
von Paul Simon

The Mississippi Delta
Was shining like a national guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the Civil War

I′m going to Graceland, Graceland
Memphis, Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
And going to Graceland

I′m going to Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

And she said, "losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow"


I′m going to Graceland
Memphis, Tennessee
I′m going to Graceland

Oh, Graceland, Graceland, Graceland
I'm going to Graceland

In Graceland

There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I′m falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
"Whoa, so this is what she means"
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Well, everybody sees you′re blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow


Ooh, ooh, ooh
In Graceland, in Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There′s some part of me wants to see Graceland
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland

In Graceland, in Graceland, in Graceland

I′m going to Graceland

I′m going to Graceland
