How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns Songtext
von Paul Simon

In the blue light
Of the Belvedere Motel
Wondering as the television burns
How the heart approaches what it yearns

In a fever
I distinctly hear your voice
Emerging from a dream, the dream returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns


After the rain on the interstate
Headlights slide past the moon
A bone-weary traveler waits
By the side of the road
Where′s he going?

I dream we are lying on the top of a hill
And headlights slide past the moon
I roll in your arms
And your voice is the heat of the night
I'm on fire

In a phone booth
In some local bar and grill
Rehearsing what I′ll say, my coin returns
How the heart approaches what it yearns

How the heart approaches what it yearns
