Paul Simon - Song About The Moon [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus 1]
If you want to write a song about the moon

[Verse 1]
Walk along the craters of the afternoon
When the shadows are deep
And the light is alien
And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
You want to write a spiritual tune
Then nah nah nah
Presto

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3]
Think about the moon before you start
Because the heart will howl
Like a dog in the moonlight
And the heart can explode
Like a pistol on a June night

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 4]
And its ever-longing for a counterpart
Write a song about the moon
The laughing boy
He laughed so hard
He fell down from his place
The laughing girl
She laughed so hard
The tears rolled down her face
Hey Songwriter

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 5]
A face
Think about a photograph
That you really can't remember
But you can't erase
Wash your hands in dreams and lightning
Cut off your hair
And whatever is frightening

[Chorus 1][x2]

[Verse 6]
You want to write a spiritual tune
THEN DO IT

[Chorus 1]
