Paul Simon She Moves On lyrics

I feel good, it's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts, the plane lifts
She moves on

But feel the bite whenever you believe that
You'll be lost and love will find you
When the road bends and the song ends
She moves on

I know the reason, I feel so blessed
My heart still splashes inside my chest
But she, she is like a top, she cannot stop
She moves on

A sympathetic stranger
Lights a candle in the middle of the night
Her voice cracks, she jumps back
But she moves on, moves on

She says, "Ooh, my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power
As you shortly will discover''

Then I fall to my knees
Shake a rattle at the skies
And I'm afraid that I'll be taken
Abandoned, forsaken in her cold coffee eyes


She can't sleep now, the moon is red
She fights a fever, she burns in bed
She needs to talk so, we take a walk
Down in the maroon light

She says, ''Maybe these emotions are
As near to love as love will ever be''
So I agree

Then the moon breaks
She takes the corner that's all she takes
She moves on

She says, ''Ooh my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power
As you shortly will discover''

Then I fall to my knees
I grow weak, I go slack
As if she captured the breath of my
Voice in a bottle and I can't catch it back

But I feel good, it's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts, the plane lifts
She moves on
