Shelter of Your Arms (unreleased work‐in‐progress) Songtext
von Paul Simon

OK, once more

Wrap me, wrap me, wrap me, do
In the shelter of your arms
I′m an extraordinary individual and I will do you no harm
And I will tell you no lies
If you don't want me to
And if you want to I′ll lie in the shelter of your arms
In the palm of your embrace


I could deny the obvious, I could rest my case
And I don't rest my case for no one
If I'm not in the mood to
When I′m in the mood I try
Take a long look at these laugh lines
They go halfway around the block
In the shelter of your arms, I′ll stop the clock
I'll stop the clock I′ll stop the clock

I lived a year once in a hotel
'Cause I failed to read a sign
For a long time I was miserable then I felt just fine
Now I feel so fine so often
I′m like a textbook case
Just a textbook case of fine

Wrap me, wrap me, wrap me, do
In the shelter of your arms
I'm an extraordinary individual and I won′t do you no harm
I won't tell you no lies
Unless you want me to
But if you want to I'll lie, lie in the shelter of your arms
In the palm of your embrace
