The Coast Lyrics


A family of musicians took shelter for the night
In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia
Two guitars, bata, bass drum and tambourine
Rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea
This is a lonely life, sorrows everywhere you turn
And that's worth something, when you think about it
That is worth some money
And that's worth something when you think about it
That is worth some money
A trip to the market, a trip into the pearl
Gray morning sunlight that settles over the Washington
A trip to the market a trip around the world
Where the evening meal is negotiable, if there is one
This is a lonely-lone, lonely life, sorrows everywhere you turn
And that's worth something when you think about it
That is worth some money
And that's worth something when you think about it
That is worth some money

To prove that I love you and because I believe in you
Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
And if I have money, if I have children
Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
Say oo-wah oo-wah doo-wop a doo-wah
Summer skies and stars are falling all along the injured coast
Oo-wah oo-wah doo-wop a doo-wah
Summer skies and the stars are falling
We are standing in the sunlight the early morning sunlight
In the harbor church of St. Cecilia
To praise a soul's returning to the earth
To the rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea
This is the only light
And that's worth something when you think about it
That is worth some money
And that's worth something when you think about it
That is worth some money
To prove that I love you and because I believe in you
Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
And if I have money, if I have children
Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
If I have weaknesses, don't let them blind me now
Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
Oo-wah oo-wah, doo wop a doo wah
Summer skies and the stars are falling
Leaving the shadow on the valley behind me now
All along the injured coast
Ooh-wah oow-wah, doo wop a doo wah
Summer skies and the stars are falling all along the injured coast
Ooh-wah ooh-wah, doo wop a doo wah

Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He first gained world-wide recognition as the writing talent behind the popular American folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel formed with fellow musician Art Garfunkel. When Simon & Garfunkel split in 1970, Simon quickly began his solo career with the release of the self-titled album, Paul Simon. This was followed by There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All These Years, both of which featured chart-topping hits such as Loves Me Like A Rock and Kodachrome. In 1986 Simon released the immensely popular Graceland, which featured the groundbreaking use of African rhythms and performers Ladysmith Black Mambazo. In 1990, he followed up Graceland with the successor album The Rhythm of the Saints which featured Brazilian and Cajun musical themes. These albums helped to popularize world music as a genre.

He co-wrote the unsuccessful, but critically-acclaimed musical The Capeman with Nobel-winning poet Derek Walcott in 1997. His most recent album, Surprise, was produced by Brian Eno.

Paul Simon still tours occasionally, both as a solo artist and with his old musical partner Art Garfunkel. He is married to Edie Brickell.

In 1994 Paul Simon held 14 sold out concerts in Nantes (France) with International professional fusion players: Nino Manore (Italy), Francis Mc Gowan (UK), Gissele Masarde (France), Nikša Sviličić (Croatia), and others.
