מילים לשיר Thelma – Paul Simon

If a feeling's born and no one complains Well that's good luck running through young veins And if life is a blessing that brushes the tops of the trees Well it's a short walk in a sweet breeze I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you All for the taste of your sweet love Thelma If a heart is an open memory book That was the chance I took The more I searched, the more shook with Thelma Last night I slept on a rented pillow A silver moon above my head A thirsty dreamless sleep released me And I reached for the phone by the side of the bed Now the first time that I saw you I thought "She's beautiful, but she's too young to be caught" People aware of my history Trying to steer you away from me I left a message at your hotel Don't let management poison the well I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you All for the taste of your sweet love Thelma The phone is ringing and I realize we are timezones and oceans apart The words I speak in the middle of my night They fall on your yesterday scars If the sun don't shine, the wind don't break the clock don't jump off the wall Thelma, my darling, I will cushion your fall I will need you, feed you, seed you, plead with you Without the taste of your sweet love Thelma I am only a man who has skirted the edge of despair for a long time now, and I don't care I watch you sleeping a the hospital bed The baby curled up in a ball Winter sunlight hits the family tree And everything else becomes nothing at all.
