Lyrics Jonah - Paul Simon

Half an hour, change your strings and tune up
Sizing the room up
Checking the bar
Local girls, unspoken conversation
Misinformation
Plays guitar

They say, "Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale"
But I say there's no truth to that tale
I know Jonah
He was swallowed by a song

No one gives their dreams away too lightly
They hold them tightly
Warm against cold
One more year of traveling 'round this circuit
Then you can work it into gold

They say, "Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale"
But I say there's no truth to that tale
I know Jonah
He was swallowed by a song

Here's to all the boys who came along
Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases
All night long

And do you wonder where those boys have gone?
Do you wonder where those boys have gone?
