Proof lyrics

Artist  : Paul simon 
Song : Proof
 
Soon our fortunes will be made, my darling 
And we leave this loathsome little town 
Silver bells jingling from your black lizard
boots, my baby 
Silver foil to trim your wedding gown 
 
It’s true the tools of love wear down 
Time passes 
A mind wanders 
It seems mindless, but it does 
Sometimes I see your face 
As if through reading glasses 
And your smile seems softer than it was 
 
Proof 
Some people gonna call you up 
Tell you something that you already know 
Proof 
Sane people go crazy on you 
Say “No man that was not 
The deal we made 
I got to go, I got to go” 
Faith 
Faith is an island in the setting sun 
But proof, yes 
Proof is the bottom line for everyone 
 
My face, my race 
Don’t matter anymore 
My sex, my cheques 
Accepted at the door 
 
Proof 
Some people gonna call you up 
Tell you something that you already know 
Proof 
Sane people go crazy on you 
Say “No man that was not 
The deal we made 
I got to, I got to go” 
Faith 
Faith is an island in the setting sun 
But proof, yes 
Proof is the bottom line for everyone 
 
Half moon hiding in the clouds, my darling 
And the sky is flecked with signs of hope 
Raise your weary wings against the rain, my baby 
Wash your tangled curls with gambler’s soap

 
Proof 
Some people gonna call you up 
Tell you something that you already know 
Proof 
Sane people go crazy on you 
Say “No man that was not 
The deal we made 
I got to, I got to, I got to” 
Faith 
Faith is an island in the setting sun 
But proof, yes 
Proof is the bottom line for everyone
