Paroles de la chanson Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean par Paul Simon

Once upon a time there was an ocean
But now it's a mountain range
Something unstoppable set into motion
Nothing is different, but everything's changed

It's a dead end job and you get tired of sitting
And it's like a nicotine habit you're always thinking about quitting
And I think about quitting every day of the week
When I look out my window it's brown and it's bleak

Out of here, how am I going to get out of here?

I'm thinking out of here, when am I going to get out of here?

And when will I cash in my lottery ticket
And bury my past with my burdens and strife?
I want to shake every limb in the garden of Eden
And make every lover the love of my life

I figure once upon a time I was an ocean
But now I'm a mountain range
Something unstoppable set into motion
Nothing is different, but everything's changed

Found a room in the heart of the city, down by the bridge
Hot plate and TV and beer in the fridge

But I'm easy, I'm open, that's my gift
I can flow with the traffic and I can drift with the drift

Home again?
No, never going home again
Think about home again?
I never think about home

But then comes a lifeline
The handwriting fragile and strange
Something unstoppable set into motion
Nothing is different, but everything's changed

The light through the stained glass

Was cobalt and red
And the frayed cuffs and collars
Were mended by halos of golden thread
The choir sang, "Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean"
And all the old hymns and family names
Came fluttering down as leaves of emotion
As nothing is different, but everything's changed
