ŠPaul Simon, released on The Paul Simon Songbook, 1965
.
Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
.
The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.
.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
.
It's no matter if you're born
To play the King or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy
Becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
.
