Song About The Moon Lyrics - Paul Simon

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 

And you want to write a song about the moon 

You want to write a spiritual tune 

Then nah nah nah 

Presto 

Song about about the moon

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 

So if you want to write a song about the heart 

And its ever-longing for a counterpart 

Write a song about the moon 

The laughing boy 

He laughed so hard 

He fell down from his place 

The laughing girl 

She laughed so hard 

The tears rolled down her face

Hey Songwriter 

If you want to write a song about a face 

Think about a photograph 

That you really can't remember 

But you can't erase 

Wash your hands in dreams and lightning 

Cut off your hair 

And whatever is frightening 

If you want to write a song about a face 

If you want to write a song about the human race 

Write a song about the moon 

If you want to write a song about the moon 

You want to write a spiritual tune 

Then do it 

Write a song about the moon
