Paul Simon - Darling Lorraine Lyrics
Words & music by paul simonThe first time I saw herI couldnt be sureBut the sin of impatienceSaid, shes just what youre looking forSo I walked right up to herAnd with the part or me that talksI introduced myself as frankFrom new york new yorkShes so hotShes so coolIm notIm just a fool in love with darling lorraineAll my life Ive been a wandererNot really, I mostly lived near my parents homeAnyway lorraine and I got marriedAnd the usual marriage stuffThen one day she says to meFrom out of the blueFrank, Ive had enoughRomance is a heartbreakerIm not meant to be a homemakerAnd Im tired of being darling lorraineWhat - you dont love me anymore?What - youre walking out the door?What - you dont like the way I chew?Hey let me tell youYoure not the woman that I wedYou say youre depressed but youre notYou just like to stay in bedI dont need you darling lorraineDarling lorraineLorraineI long for your loveFinancially speakingI guess Im a washoutEverybodys buy and sellAnd sell and buy andAnd thats what the whole things all aboutIf it had not been for lorraineId have left here long agoI should have been a musicianI love the pianoShes so lightShes so freeIm tight, well, thats meBut I feel so goodWith darling lorraineOn christmas morning frank awakesTo find lorraine has made a stack of pancakesThey watch the television, husband and wifeAll afternoon its a wonderful lifeWhat - you dont love me anymore?What - youre walking out the door?What - you dont like the way I chew?Hey let me tell youYoure not the woman that I wedGimme my robe Im going back to bedIm sick to death of you lorraineDarling lorraineLorraineHer hands like woodThe doctor was smilingBut the news wasnt goodDarling lorrainePlease dont leave me yetI know youre in painPain you cant forgetYour breathing is like an echo of our loveMaybe Ill go down to the corner storeAnd buy us something sweetHeres an extra blanket honeyTo wrap around your feetAll the trees were washed with april rainAnd the moon in the meadowTook darling lorraine
