Gumboots lyrics

Artist  : Paul simon 
Song : Gumboots
 
I was having this discussion 
In a taxi heading downtown 
Rearranging my position 
On this friend of mine who had 
A little bit of a breakdown 
I said breakdowns come 
And breakdowns go 
So what are you going to do about it 
That’s what I’d like to know 
 
You don’t feel you could love me 
But I feel you could 
 
It was in the early morning hours 
When I fell into a phone call 
Believing I had supernatural powers 
I slammed into a brick wall 
I said hey, is this my problem? 
Is this my fault? 
If that’s the way it’s gonna be 
I’m going to call the whole thing to a halt

 
You don’t feel you could love me 
But I feel you could 
You don’t feel you could love me 
But I feel you could 
 
I was walking down the street 
When I thought I heard this voice say 
Say, ain’t we walking down the same street
together 
On the very same day 
I said hey Senorita that’s astute 
I said why don’t we get together 
And call ourselves an institute 
 
You don’t feel you could love me 
But I feel you could 
You don’t feel you could love me 
But I feel you could
