How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns

作曲 : Paul Simon

作词 : Paul Simon

In the blue light

Of the Belvedere Motel

Watching as the television burned

How the heart approaches what it yearns

In a fever

I can hear your secret voice

Emerging from a dream, your voice returns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

After the rain on the interstate

Headlights slide past the moon

A bone-weary traveler waits

By the side of the road

Where’s he going?

Headlights slide past the moon

I rolled in your arms

And your voice is the heat of the night

In a phone booth

In some downtown bar and grill

Rehearsing what I’ll say, my coin returns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

How the heart approaches what it yearns
