She Moves On Songtext
von Paul Simon

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

But 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

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


A sympathetic stranger
Lights a candle in the middle of the night
Her voice cracks
She jumps back
But she moves on, moves on

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
And I′m afraid that I'll be taken
Abandoned, forsaken
In her cold coffee eyes

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 maroon light


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

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′d captured the breath of my
Voice in a bottle
And I can't catch it back

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
