Everything About It Is A Love Song Lyrics - Surprise - Paul Simon

Locked in a struggle for the right combination of words in a melody line 

I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination 

Golden clouds were shuffling the sunshine 

But if I ever get back to the twentieth century 

Guess I'll have to pay off some debts 

Open the book of my vanishing memory 

With its catalog of regrets 

Stand up for the deeds I did 

And those I didn't do 

Sit down, shut up, think about God 

And wait for the hour of my rescue

We don't mean to mess things up 

But mess them up we do 

And then it's "Oh, I'm sorry" 

Here's a smiling photograph of love when it was new 

At a birthday party 

Make a wish and close your eyes: surprise, surprise, surprise. 

Early December, and brown as a sparrow 

Frost creeping over the pond 

I shoot a thought into the future 

And it flies like an arrow 

Through my lifetime, and beyond 

If I ever come back as a tree, or a crow 

Or even the wind-blown dust 

Find me on the ancient road in the song when the wires are hushed 

Hurry on and remember me, as I'll remember you 

Far above the golden clouds, the darkness vibrates 

The earth is blue

And everything about it is a love song 

Everything about it 

Everything about it is a love song 

Everything about it 

Everything about it is a love song
