paul simon | diamonds on the soles of her shoes
“she makes the sign of a teaspoon
he makes the sign of a wave
the poor boy changes clothes
and puts on after-shave
to compensate for his ordinary shoes
and she said, “honey take me dancing”
but they ended up by sleeping
in a doorway
by the bodegas and the lights on
upper broadway
wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes…”
Always reblog!

“You got to drift in the breeze
Before you set your sails
It’s an occupation where the wind prevails
Before you set your sails
Drift in the breeze.”
Learn How to Fall, Paul Simon
I think I want to teach this song to my middle schoolers.

“Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes” Paul Simon
I just can’t stop.
This song is like the love story I wish I could have.
She’s a rich girl, and she don’t try to hide it.
-Paul Simon
got the flu on the first valentine’s day i actually have a valentine
”The rooms were musty/And the pipes were old/All that winter we shared a cold/Drank all the orange juice/That we could hold/I do it for your love.”
—Paul Simon, I Do It For Your Love
50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
Amazing.
Once in a while from out of nowhere
When you don’t expect it, and you’re unprepared
Somebody will come and lift you higher
And your burdens will be shared.
Gone at Last, Paul Simon
Okay, I’ll stop now. I’m on a Paul Simon kick…this lyric is one of my all-time fave lyrics about falling in love.
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you’re blown apart,
Everybody feels the wind blow.
Love like lightning shaking ‘till it moans, hearts and bones, hearts and bones.
