Jonah Lyrics - Paul Simon

Half an hour, change your strings and tune up 

Sizing the room up 

Checking the bar 

Local girls, unspoken conversation 

Misinformation 

Plays guitar 

They say Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale 

But I say there's no truth to that tale 

I know Jonah 

He was swallowed by a song

No one gives their dreams away too lightly 

They hold them tightly 

Warm against cold 

One more year of traveling 'round this circuit 

Then you can work it into gold 

They say Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale 

But I say there's no truth to that tale 

I know Jonah 

He was swallowed by a song

Here's to all the boys who came along 

Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases 

All night long 

And do you wonder where those boys have gone? 

Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
