paul simon - once upon a time there was an ocean كلمات أغنية

once upon a time there was an ocean
but now it’s a mountain range
something unstoppable set into motion
nothing is different, but everything’s changed

it’s a dead end job, and you gets tired of sittin’
and it’s like a nicotine habit you’re always thinking about quittin’
i think about quittin’ every day of the week
when i look out my window it’s brown and it’s bleak

outta here
how am i gonna get outta here?
i’m thinking outta here
when am i gonna get outta here?
and when will i cash in my lottery ticket
and bury my past with my burdens and strife?
i want to shake every limb in the garden of eden
and make every love the love of my life

i figure that once upon a time i was an ocean
but now i’m a mountain range
something unstoppable set into motion
nothing is different, but everything’s changed

found a room in the heart of the city, down by the bridge
hot plate and tv and beer in the fridge
but i’m easy, i’m open, that’s my gift
i can flow with the traffic, i can drift with the drift
home again?
naw, never going home again
think about home again?
i never think about home

but then comes a letter from home
the handwriting’s fragile and strange
something unstoppable set into motion
nothing is different, but everything’s changed

the light through the stained gl-ss was cobalt and red
and the frayed cuffs and collars were mended by haloes of golden thread
the choir sang, “once upon a time there was an ocean”
and all the old hymns and family names came fluttering down as leaves of emotion

as nothing is different, but everything’s changed

- paul simon
