Spiral Highway

ŠPaul Simon, released on Bonus tracks on CD reissue, 2004, recorded 1980, an early version of "How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns"

.

Ev'ry bar and grill

Ev'ry greasy spoon

Anywhere a quarter buys a tune

Ride the spiral highway one more roll

.

Ev'ry local call

Ev'ry pink motel

Any time the strain begins to tell

Ride that spiral highway one more roll

.

After the rain on the interstate

Headlights slide past the moon

Bone-weary traveler waits by the side of the road

Where's he going?

.

Then I think it's strange

The way the body turns

And how my heart approaches what it yearns

Ride that spiral highway one more roll

Ride that spiral highway one more roll

.
