Darling lorraine lyrics

Artist  : Paul simon 
Song : Darling lorraine
 
The first time I saw her 
I couldn’t be sure 
But the sin of impatience 
Said “She’s just what you’re
looking for” 
So I walked right up to her 
And with the part of me that talks 
I introduced myself as Frank 
From New York New York 
She’s so hot 
She’s so cool 
I’m not 
I’m just a fool in love with darling
Lorraine 
 
All my life I’ve been a wanderer 
Not really, I mostly lived near my parents’
home 
Anyway Lorraine and I got married 
And the usual marriage stuff 
Then one day she says to me 
From out of the blue 
Frank, I’ve had enough 
Romance is a heartbreaker 
I’m not meant to be a homemaker 
And I’m tired of being darling Lorraine 
 
What - You don’t love me anymore? 
What - You’re walking out the door? 
What - You don’t like the way I chew? 
Hey let me tell you 
You’re not the woman that I wed 
You say you’re depressed but you’re
not 
You just like to stay in bed 
I don’t need you darling Lorraine 
Darling Lorraine 
Lorraine 
I long for your love 
 
Financially speaking 
I guess I’m a washout 
Everybody’s buy and sell 
And sell and buy and 
And that’s what the whole thing’s all
about 
If it had not been for Lorraine 
I’d have left here long ago 
I should have been a musician 
I love the piano 
She’s so light 
She’s so free 
I’m tight, well, that’s me 
But I feel so good 
With darling Lorraine 
 
On Christmas morning Frank awakes 
To find Lorraine has made a stack of pancakes 
They watch the television, husband and wife 
All afternoon “It’s A Wonderful
Life” 
 
What - You don’t love me anymore? 
What - You’re walking out the door? 
What - You don’t like the way I chew? 
Hey let me tell you 
You’re not the woman that I wed 
Gimme my robe I’m going back to bed 
I’m sick to death of you Lorraine 
 
Darling Lorraine 
Lorraine 
Her hands like wood 
The doctor was smiling 
But the news wasn’t good 
 
Darling Lorraine 
Please don’t leave me yet 
I know you’re in pain 
Pain you can’t forget 
Your breathing is like an echo of our love 
Maybe I’ll go down to the corner store 
And buy us something sweet 
Here’s an extra blanket honey 
To wrap around your feet 
All the trees were washed with April rain 
And the moon in the meadow 
Took darling Lorraine
