Paul Simon - Mother and Child Reunion
Lyrics:
No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine.
I can't for the life of me
Remember a sadder day
I know they say let it be
But it just don't work out that way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again
No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine.
I just can't believe it's so,
and though it seems strange to say
I never been laid so low
In such a mysterious way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again
But I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away,
Oh, oh the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away

...reading "Wishful Drinking"... Fisher's wit and wisdom was en pointe.

This song always came to mind when I was making chicken with an egg batter! Now I think i will see it differently! I guess Paul Simon might as well!

There is a video for a Paul Simon song from hearts and bones that I never saw before that Carrie Fisher was in. Worth watching.
