words & music by Paul Simon 1978 | | In the blue light | | Of the Belvedere Motel | | | Wondering as the television burns | How the heart approaches what it yearns | | In a fe-ver | | I distinctly hear your voice | | | | Emerging from a dream, the dream 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?
