Lyrics Love Is Eternal Sacred Light - Paul Simon

Love Is Eternal Sacred Light

Love is eternal sacred light
Free from the shackles of time
Evil is darkness, sight without sight
A demon that feeds on the mind
How’d it all begin?
Started with a bang
Couple of light years later, stars and planets sang
Fire warmed the cold, waves of colors flew
Moonlight into gold, earth to green and blue
Love is eternal sacred light
Free from the shackles of time
Evil is darkness, sight without sight
A demon that feeds on the mind
Earth becomes a farm
Farmer takes a wife
Wife becomes a river and the giver of life
Man becomes machine
Oil runs down his face
Machine becomes a man with a bomb in the marketplace
Bomb in the marketplace
Bomb in the mar…
Love is eternal sacred light
Free from the shackles of time
Evil is darkness, sight without sight
A demon that feeds on the mind
Big Bang
That’s a joke that I made up Once when I had eons to kill
You know, most folks
They don’t get when I’m joking
Well, maybe someday they will
Love me Love me That’s the main request I receive
Well you know I love all my children
And it tears me up when I leave
But sometimes you gotta fly down that highway
Free as a bird, knock on wood, thank the Lord
I am driving along in my automobile
It’s a brand new pre-owned '96 Ford
Check out the radio, pop music station
That don’t sound like my music to me Talk show host, what’s that boy’s name?
Politics is ugly
At the end of the dial there’s the gospel show
Maybe now I can exit and rest
There’s a blizzard rolling down off the banks of Lake Michigan
Gonna cover the roads of the icy Midwest
Love is eternal sacred light
Free from the shackles of time
Evil is darkness, sight without sight
A demon that feeds on the mind
Love is eternal sacred light
Love is eternal sacred light
Love is eternal sacred light
