Songtexte That's Me - Paul Simon

Well, I′ll just skip the boring parts
Chapters one, two, three
And get to the place where you can read my face
And my biography

Here I am, I'm eleven months old
Dangling from my daddy′s knee
There I go, it's my graduation
I'm picking up a bogus degree

That′s me
Early me
That′s me
That's me

Well, I never cared much for money
And money never cared for me
I was more like a land-locked sailor
Searching for the emerald sea
Just searching for the emerald sea
Boys, searching for the sea

Oh my God
First love opens like a flower
A black bear running through the forest
Light holds me in her sight and her power
But tricky skies, your eyes are true
The future is beauty and sorrow
Still, I wish that we could run away
And live the life we used to
If just for tonight and tomorrow

I′m walking up the face of the mountain
Counting every step I climb
Remembering the names of the constellations
Forgotten is a long, long time

That's me
I′m in the valley of twilight
Now I'm on the continental shelf
That′s me
I'm answering a question
I am asking of myself

That's me

That′s me
