How The Heart Approaches What It Yearns Lyrics - 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 

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 

And headlights slide past the moon 

I roll in your arms 

And your voice is the heat of the night 

I'm on fire 

Photos 

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
