Proof Lyrics - Paul Simon

Soon our fortunes will be made, my darling 

And we will leave this loathsome little town 

Silver bells jingling from your black lizard boots, my baby 

Silver foil to trim your wedding gown 

It's true, the tools of love wear down 

Time passes 

A mind wanders 

It seems mindless, but it does 

Sometimes I see your face 

As if through reading glasses 

And your smile, it seems softer than it was

Proof 

Some people gonna call you up 

Tell you something that you already know 

Proof 

Sane people go crazy on you 

Say "No, man, that's not 

The deal we made 

I got to go, I got to go" 

Faith 

Faith is an island in the setting sun 

But proof, yes 

Proof is the bottom line for everyone 

My face, my race 

Don't matter anymore 

My sex, my checks 

Accepted at the door 

Photos 

Proof 

Some people gonna call you up 

Tell you something that you already know 

Proof 

Sane people go crazy on you 

Say "No, man, that's not 

The deal we made 

I got to, I got to go" 

Faith 

Faith is an island in the setting sun 

But proof, yes 

Proof is the bottom line for everyone 

Half moon hiding in the clouds, my darling 

And the sky is flecked with signs of hope 

Raise your weary wings against the rain, my baby 

Wash your tangled curls with gambler's soap 

Proof 

Some people gonna call you up 

Tell you something that you already know 

Proof 

Sane people go crazy on you 

Say "No, man, that's not 

The deal we made 

I got to, I got to, I got to" 

Faith 

Faith is an island in the setting sun 

But proof, yes 

Proof is the bottom line for everyone 

But proof, yes 

Proof is the bottom line for everyone
