How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns - Paul Simon

作词：Paul Simon

作曲：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

The 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

Headlights slide past the moon

I fold 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
