Song About the Moon

How to Write a Song

"If you want to write a song about the moon
Walk along the craters of the afternoon
When the shadows are deep
And the light is alien
And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement
And you want to write a song about the moon
You want to write a spiritual tune
Then nah nah nah
Presto
Song about the moon"
--Paul Simon, "Song About the Moon" (From "Hearts & Bones")
