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.

Notes

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.
