The Coast Lyrics - Paul Simon

A family of musicians took shelter for the night 

In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia 

Two guitars, bata, bass drum and tambourine 

Rose of Jericho and Bougainvillea 

This is a lonely life 

Sorrows everywhere you turn 

And that's worth something 

When you think about it 

That's worth some money 

That's worth something 

When you think about it 

That is worth some money

A trip to the market 

A trip into the pearl gray morning sunlight 

That settles over Washington 

A trip to the market 

A trip around the world 

Where the evening meal 

Is negotiable, if there is one. 

This is a lonely-lone, lonely life 

Sorrows everywhere you turn 

And that's worth something 

When you think about it 

That's worth some money 

That's worth something 

When you think about it 

That is worth some money

To prove that I love you 

Because I believe in you 

Summer skies, stars are falling 

All along the injured coast 

If I have money 

If I have children 

Summer skies, stars are falling 

All along the injured coast 

Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah 

Summer skies and stars are falling 

All along the injured coast 

Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah 

Summer skies and the stars are falling 

We are standing in the sunlight 

The early morning sunlight 

In the harbor church of St. Cecilia 

To praise a soul's returning to the earth 

To the rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea 

This is the only life 

And that's worth something 

When you think about it 

That's worth some money 

That's worth something 

When you think about it 

That is worth some money 

To prove that I love you 

Because I believe in you 

Summer skies, stars are falling 

All along the injured coast 

If I have money 

If I have children 

Summer skies, stars are falling 

All along the injured coast 

If I have weaknesses 

Don't let them blind me now 

Summer skies, stars are falling 

All along the injured coast 

Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo Wop a Doo Wah 

Summer skies and stars are falling 

Leaving the shadow of the valley behind me now 

All along the injured coast 

Ooh-wah Oow-wah 

Doo Wop a Doo Wah 

Summer skies and stars are falling 

All along the injured coast 

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah 

Doo Wop a Doo Wah
