Another Galaxy - Paul Simon

On the morning of her wedding day

When no one was awake

She drove across the border

Leaving all the yellow roses on her wedding cake

Her mother’s tears, her breakfast order

She’s gone, gone, gone

There is a moment, a chip in time

When leaving home is the lesser crime

When your eyes are blind with tears

But your heart can see

Another life, another galaxy

That night her dreams are storm-tossed as a willow

She hears the clouds

She sees the eye of a hurricane

As it sweeps across her island pillow
