Another Galaxy — Paul Simon

On the morning of her wedding day When no one was awake She drove across the border Leaving all the yellow roses on her wedding cake Her mother's tears, her breakfast order

She's gone, gone, gone

There is a moment, a chip in time When leaving home is the lesser crime When your eyes are blind with tears But your heart can see Another life, another galaxy

That night her dreams are storm-tossed as a willow She hears the clouds She sees the eye of a hurricane As it sweeps across her island pillow

But she's gone, gone, gone

There is a moment, a chip in time When leaving home is the lesser crime When your eyes are blind with tears But your heart can see Another life, another galaxy
