Love And Hard Times Lyrics - So Beautiful Or So What - Paul Simon

Simon 

God and His only Son 

Paid a courtesy call on Earth 

One Sunday morning 

Orange blossoms opened their fragrant lips 

Songbirds sang from the tips of Cottonwoods 

Old folks wept for His love in these hard times 

"Well, we got to get going," said the restless Lord to the Son 

"There are galaxies yet to be born 

Creation is never done 

Anyway, these people are slobs here 

If we stay it's bound to be a mob scene 

But, disappear, and it's love and hard times"

I loved her the first time I saw her 

I know that's an old songwriting cliché 

Loved you the first time I saw you 

Can't describe it any other way 

Any other way 

The light of her beauty was warm as a summer day 

Clouds of antelope rolled by 

No hint of rain to come 

In the prairie sky 

Just love, love, love, love, love 

When the rains came, the tears burned, windows rattled, locks turned 

It's easy to be generous when you're on a roll 

It's hard to be grateful when you're out of control 

And love is gone 

Photos 

The light at the edge of the curtain 

Is the quiet dawn 

The bedroom breathes 

In clicks and clacks 

Uneasy heartbeat, can't relax 

But then your hand takes mine 

Thank God, I found you in time 

Thank God, I found you 

Thank God, I found you
