Mother And Child Reunion
Lyrics and Songs by Paul Simon - Go back

No I wopuld not give you false hope
on this strange and mournful day
but the mother and child reunion
is only a motion away
oh
little darling of mine.

I can't for the life of me
remember a sadder day
I know they say let it be
but it just don't work out that way
and the course of the lifetimes runs
over and over again.

No I would not give...

I just can't believe it's go
though it seems strange to say
I never been laid so low
in such a mysterious way
and the course of a lifetime runs
over and over again.

But I would not give...

Oh
the mother and child reunion
is only a motion away
oh the mother and child reunion
is only a moment away.
