Gumboots Songtext
von Paul Simon

I was having this discussion
In a taxi heading downtown
Rearranging my position
On this friend of mine
Who had a song of a breakdown

I said, "Hey, you know, breakdowns come
And breakdowns go
So what are you going to do about it?
That's what I'd like to know"

You don't feel you could love me
But I feel you could


It was in the early morning hours
When I fell into a phone call
Believing I had supernatural powers
I slammed into a brick wall

I said, "Hey, is this my problem?
Is this my fault?
If that's the way it's gonna be
I'm going to call the whole thing to a halt"

You don't feel you could love me
But I feel you could

I was having this discussion
In a taxi heading downtown
Rearranging my position
On this friend of mine
Who had a song of a breakdown

It was in the early morning hours
When I fell into a phone call


You don't feel you could love me
But I feel you could
