Paul Simon Hearts And Bones lyrics

One in one half wanderin' Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are traveling together in a
The Sangre De Cristo la
The Blood of Christ mountains in New Mexico
On the last leg of the journey
They started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high desert air
Mountain passes slipped in into stones

Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones

Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the door
Two people were married, they
The act was outrageous, the
The bride was contagious
She burned like a bride
An' these events may have had some effect
On the man with the girl by his side
The arc of a love affair
His hands rollin' down her hair
Love like lightnin', shakin' till it moans

Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones

Then who oo ooo whoa

She said, "Why?
Why don't we drive through the night?
We'll wake uptown in Mexico
Ohh, Why?
Well, I don't know nothin' about
Nothin' about no Mexico"
And tell me, "Why?
Why won't you love me?
For who I am, where I am"
He said, "'Cause that's not the way the world is, baby
This is how I love you, baby
This is how I love you, baby"

One in one half wandering Jews
Return to their natural courses
To resume old acquaintances
I step out occasionally an'
I speculate who had been damaged the most
Easy time will determine
If these consolations will be their reward
The arc of a love affair
Waiting to be restored
You take two bodies an' you twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bones
An' they won't come undone, no

Well, hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
