Song About the Moon Paul Simon

[Verse 1]
If you want to write a song about the moon
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]
And you want to write a song about the moon
You want to write a spiritual tune
Then na na na yeah, presto
A song about the moon

[Verse 2]
If you want to write a song about the heart
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 2]
So if you want to write a song about the heart
And its ever-longing for a counterpart
Then na na na na yeah yeah yeah
Write a song about the moon

[Bridge]
The laughing boy, he laughed so hard
He fell down from his place
The laughing girl, she laughed so hard
That tears rolled down her face
