Letra de Time Is An Ocean - Paul Simon
Letra de canci�n de Time Is An Ocean de Paul Simon lyrics
Sal
I speak to you in jesus�s name
As jesus speaks through me,
The evil we do can�t be blamed upon our destiny
I have walked through the valley of death-row to the shore
I have stumbled through silvery water to my savior, my salvador!
Salvador
It took me four years to learn
I was in prison not in church.
And two more to begin the book of my soul�s search.
Sal & salvador
Time is an ocean of endless tears
Sal
A wild boy from the streets of el barrio
An orphan from the hills of mayagüez
Salvador
And when I wrote my story
The words flew from the page
And my soul in solitary
Escaped it�s iron cage.
Sal & salvador
Time is an ocean of endless tears
Sal
Mama, I got your letter today
The next time that you write I�ll be transferred far away.
I�m leaving greenhaven�s towers of stone
Where the latin population will soon be minus one.
Salvador
Time is an ocean of endless tears.
Sal
I know how hard it�s been for you these many years,
You say the aguinaldo makes you dream of home
Where once we strolled the beach at el malecon
Go back don�t you worry, I am your grown-up son.

Salvador
The politics of prison are a mirror of the street.
The poor endure oppression
The police control the state.
Correctional facility
That�s what they call this place
But look around and you will see
The politics of race.
Sal
A forest and a prison
Where the snow and guards are white
Salvador
If you want to keep your sanity
You�ll teach yourself to write.
You were a child of sixteen
With a twelve-year-old mind
You came here numb and battered
By the streets I left behind
Sal
I�ll take the evil in me
And turn it into good,
Though all your institutions
Never thought I could
So now I�ll turn to say goodbye
Salvador
I�ll keep your image in my eye
Sal & salvador
I turn around to say goodbye
Salvador
I�ll keep your image with me till the day I die
Sal & salvador
Time is an ocean of endless tears
I speak to you in jesus�s name
As jesus speaks through me,
The evil we do can�t be blamed upon our destiny
I have walked through the valley of death-row to the shore
I have stumbled through silvery water to my savior, my salvador!
Salvador
It took me four years to learn
I was in prison not in church.
And two more to begin the book of my soul�s search.
Sal & salvador
Time is an ocean of endless tears
Sal
A wild boy from the streets of el barrio
An orphan from the hills of mayagüez
Salvador
And when I wrote my story
The words flew from the page
And my soul in solitary
Escaped it�s iron cage.
Sal & salvador
Time is an ocean of endless tears
