Paul Simon:That's Me

Well I'll just skip the boring parts, chapters one, two, three
And get to the place where you can read my face and my biography.

Here I am, I'm eleven months old, dangling from my daddy's knee.
There I go, it's my graduation, I'm picking up a bogus degree.

That's me. Early me. That's me. That's me.

Well I never cared much for the money, and money never cared for me.
I was more like a land-locked sailor, searching for the emerald sea.
Just searching for the emerald sea, boys, searching for the sea.

Oh my God. First love opens like a flower.
A black bear running through the forest light holds me in her sight and her power.
But tricky skies, your eyes are true, the future is beauty and sorrow.
Still, I wish that we could run away and live the life we used to.
If just for tonight and tomorrow.

I am walking up the face of the mountain, counting every step I climb.
Remembering the names of the constellations. forgotten is a long, long time.
That's me, I'm in the valley of twilight.
Now I'm on the continental shelf.
That's me I'm answering a question I am asking of myself.
