Thelma - Paul Simon[00:00:00]
If a baby is born and no one complains[00:00:26]
Then that's good luck runnin' through young veins[00:00:30]
And if life is a blessing[00:00:36]
That brushes the tops of the trees[00:00:38]
Well it's a short walk in a sweet breeze[00:00:41]
I will need you feed you[00:00:45]
Seed you plead with you[00:00:47]
All for a taste of your sweet love Thelma[00:00:51]
If the heart is an open memory book[00:00:56]
That was the chance I took[00:01:00]
The more I searched[00:01:02]
The more I shook for Thelma[00:01:03]
Last night I slept on a rented pillow[00:01:07]
A silver moon above my head[00:01:10]
A thirsty dreamless sleep released me[00:01:17]
And I reached for the phone by the side of the bed[00:01:21]
Now the first time that I saw you I thought[00:01:37]
She's beautiful but she's too young to be caught[00:01:41]
People aware of my history[00:01:47]
Trying to steer you away from me[00:01:49]
I left a message at your hotel[00:01:52]
Don't let management poison the well[00:01:54]
I will need you feed you[00:01:56]
Seed you plead with you[00:01:58]
All for a taste of your sweet love Thelma[00:02:02]
The phone is ringing and I realize[00:02:07]
We are time zones and oceans apart[00:02:11]
The words I speak in the middle of my night[00:02:17]
Fall on your yesterday's heart[00:02:22]
If the sun don't shine[00:02:48]
If the wind don't break[00:02:48]
If the clock don't jump off the wall[00:02:50]
Thelma my darlin' I will cushion your fall[00:02:52]
I will need you feed you[00:02:57]
Seed you plead with you[00:02:58]
Without the taste of your sweet love Thelma[00:03:03]
I am only a man who skirted the edge of despair[00:03:08]
For a long time now[00:03:12]
And I don't care[00:03:15]
I watch you sleeping in the hospital bed[00:03:18]
The baby curled up in a ball[00:03:23]
Winter sunlight hits the family tree[00:03:28]
And everything else becomes nothing at all[00:03:33]
