Paul Simon Lyrics

How The Heart Approaches What It Yearns Lyrics

In the blue light

Of the belvedere Motel

Wondering as the television burns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

In a fever

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

The headlights slide past the moon

A bone-weary traveler

Waits by the side of the road

Where's he goin?

I dream we are lying on the top of a hill

And headlights slide past the moon

I fold in your arms

And your voice is the heat of the night

I'm on fire

In a phone booth

In some local bar and grill

Rehearsing what I'll say, my coin returns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

How the heart approaches what it yearns
