Ten Years

Paul Simon
You are moving on a crowded street
Through various shades of people
In the summer's harshest heat
A story in your eye
Well speak
Until your mind's at ease
Ten years come and gone so fast
I might as well have been dreaming
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season
A fortune rises to the sky
Ten years come and gone so fast
I might as well have been dreaming
You are driving down an empty road
Beside a shady river
When the sky turns dark as stone
The trees begin to shiver
The grace of God is nigh
Ten years come and gone
And that flash has never been forgotten
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season
How do the powerless survive?
Ten years come and gone so fast
I might as well have been dreaming
If you look into your future life
Ten years from this question
Do you imagine a familiar light?
Burning in the distance?
The love that never dies
Ten years come and gone so fast
I might as well be dreaming
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season
Ten years come and gone so fast
Sunny days have burned a path
