Darling Lorraine
Paul Simon
Darling Lorraine 歌詞
The first time I saw her
I couldnt be sure
But the sin of impatience
Said “Shes just what youre looking for”
So I walked right up to her
And with the part of me that talks
I introduced myself as Frank
From New York
New York
Shes so hot
Shes so cool
Im not
Im just a fool in love with Darling Lorraine
All my life Ive been a wanderer
Not really, I mostly lived near my parents home
Anyway Lorraine and I got married
Ant the usual marriage stuff
Then one day she says to me
From out of the blue
Frank, Ive had enough
Romance is a heartbreaker
Im not meant to be a homemaker
And Im tired of being Darling Loraine
What – you dont love me anymore?
What – youre walking out the door?
What – you dont like the way I chew?
Hey let me tell you
Youre not the woman that I wed
You say youre depressed but youre not
You just like to stay in bed
I dont need you darling Lorraine
Darling Lorraine
Lorraine
I long for your love
Financially Speaking
I guess Im a washout
Everybodys buy and sell
And sell and buy and
And thats what the whole things all about
If it had not been Lorraine
Id have left her long ago
I should have been a musician
I love the piano
Shes so light
Shes so free
Im tight, well, thats me
But I feel so good
With Darling Lorraine
On Christmas morning Frank awakes
To find Loraine hasmade a stack of pancakes
They watch the television, husband and wife
All afternoon “Its a wonderful life”
What – you dont love me anymore?
What – youre walking out the door?
What – you dont like the way I chew?
Hey let me tell you
Youre not the woman that I wed
Gimme my robe Im going back to bed
Im sick to death of you Lorraine
Darling Lorraine
Lorraine
Her hands like wood
The doctor was smiling
But the news wasnt good
Darling Lorraine
Please dont leave me yet
I know youre in pain
Pain you cant forget
Your breathing is like an echo of our love
Maybe Ill go down to the corner store
And buy us something sweet
Heres an extra blanket honey
To wrap around your feet
All the trees were washed with april rain
And the moon in the meadow
Took Darling Lorraine
