Hearts And Bones Lyrics - Paul Simon

One and one-half wandering Jews 

Free to wander wherever they choose 

Are traveling together 

In the Sangre de Christo 

The Blood of Christ Mountains 

Of New Mexico 

On the last leg of a journey 

They started a long time ago 

The arc of a love affair 

Rainbows in the high desert air 

Mountain passes 

Slipping 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 

The act was outrageous 

The bride was contagious 

She burned like a bride 

These events may have had some effect 

On the man with the girl by his side 

The arc of a love affair 

His hands rolling down her hair 

Love like lightning shaking till it moans 

Hearts and bones 

Hearts and bones 

Hearts and bones 

Photos 

And whoa whoa whoa 

She said why? 

Why don't we drive through the night 

And we'll wake up down in Mexico 

Oh I 

I don't know nothin' about nothin' 

About 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 and one-half wandering Jews 

Returned to their natural coasts 

To resume old acquaintances 

Step out occasionally 

And 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 and you twirl them into one 

Their hearts and their bones 

And they won't come undone 

Hearts and bones 

Hearts and bones 

Hearts and bones 

Hearts and bones
