Paul Simon - Time Is An Ocean слова песни
SAL
I speak to you in Jesus`s name
As Jesus speaks through me,
The evil we do can`t be blamed upon our destiny
I have walked through the valley of death-row to the shore
I have stumbled through silvery water to my savior, my Salvador!
SALVADOR
It took me four years to learn
I was in prison not in church.
And two more to begin the book of my soul`s search.
SAL & SALVADOR
Time is an ocean of endless tears
SAL
A wild boy from the streets of El Barrio
An orphan from the hills of Mayagьez
SALVADOR
And when I wrote my story
The words flew from the page
And my soul in solitary
Escaped its iron cage.
SAL & SALVADOR
Time is an ocean of endless tears
SAL
Mama, I got your letter today
The next time that you write I`ll be transferred far away.
I`m leaving Greenhaven`s towers of stone
Where the Latin population will soon be minus one.
SALVADOR
Time is an ocean of endless tears.
SAL
I know how hard it`s been for you these many years,
You say the Aguinaldo makes you dream of home
Where once we strolled the beach at El Malecon
Go back don`t you worry, I am your grown-up son.
SALVADOR
The politics of prison are a mirror of the street.
The poor endure oppression
The police control the state.
Correctional facility
That`s what they call this place
But look around and you will see
The politics of race.
SAL
A forest and a prison
Where the snow and guards are white
SALVADOR
If you want to keep your sanity
You`ll teach yourself to write.
You were a child of sixteen
With a twelve-year-old mind
You came here numb and battered
By the streets I left behind
SAL
I`ll take the evil in me
And turn it into good,
Though all your institutions
Never thought I could
So now I`ll turn to say goodbye
SALVADOR
I`ll keep your image in my eye
SAL & SALVADOR
I turn around to say goodbye
SALVADOR
I`ll keep your image with me till the day I die
SAL & SALVADOR
Time is an ocean of endless tears
