Proof Of Love - Paul Simon

Begin again

No easy trick

Without a guide or walking stick

Begin before the bells of twilight peal

Downhill town

The road ahead

Spiral, as a serpent’s bed

A teaspoon of desire for my meal

I trade my tears

To ask the Lord

For proof of love

If only for the consolation

Of gazing at the stars above

Amen, amen, amen

The road is steep

The air is thin

I hear a voice inside my skin

Don’t be afraid

Your days won’t end with night

Feel the sun

Drink the rain

Let your body heal its pain

Bathe beneath a waterfall of light

I trade my tears

To ask the Lord

For proof of love

If only for the explanation

That tells me what my dreams are made of

Amen, amen

The valley below

An ocean of debris

I ask the Lord

For proof of love

Love is all I seek

Love is all I seek

And when at times my words desert me

Music is the tongue I speak

I rest my head beside a white oak tree

No deadly nightshade, Belladonna

Dare lay a leaf on me

Silent night

Still as prayer

Darkness fills with light

Love on Earth is everywhere
