Hurricane Eye Lyrics - The Essential Paul Simon - Paul Simon

Tell us all a story 

About how it used to be 

Make it up and write it down 

Just like history 

About goldilocks and the three bears 

Nature in the cross hairs 

And how we all ascended 

From the deep green sea 

When it's not too hot 

Not too cold 

Not too meek 

Not too bold 

When it's just right and you add sunlight 

Then we're home 

Finally home 

Home in the land of the homeless 

Finally home

Oh what are we going to do 

I never did a thing to you 

Time peaceful as a hurricane eye 

Peaceful as a hurricane eye 

A history of whispers 

A shadow of a horse 

Faces painted black in sorrow and remorse 

White cloud, black crow 

Crucifix and arrow 

The oldest silence speak the loudest 

Under the deep green sea 

When speech becomes a crime 

Silence leads the spirit 

Over the bridge of time 

Photos 

Over the bridge of time 

I'm waling with my family 

And the road begins to climb 

And it's oh lord how we going to pray 

With crazy angel voices 

All night 

Until it's a new day 

Peaceful as a hurricane 

Peaceful as a hurricane 

Peaceful as a hurricane eye 

Peaceful as a hurricane 

Peaceful as a hurricane 

Peaceful as a hurricane eye 

Peaceful as a hurricane eye 

You want to be a leader? 

You want to change the game? 

Turn your back on money 

Walk away from fame 

You want to be a missionary? 

Got that missionary zeal? 

Let a stranger change your life 

Hot does it make you feel? 

You want to be a writer 

But you don't know how or when 

Find a quiet place 

Use a humble pen 

You want to talk talk talk about it 

All night squawk about 

The ocean and the atmosphere 

Well I've been away for a long time 

And it looks like a mess around here 

I'll be away for a long time 

So here's how the story goes 

There was an old woman 

Who lived in a shoe 

She was baking a cinnamon pie 

She fell asleep in a washing machine 

Woke up in a hurricane eye
