He, like so many of my favourite singers, is such a powerful poet, who uses his music not just to entertain, but to connect and touch and move his listeners. Thank you for sharing this one - alas, I fear it is a song so many of us can relate to!

Thanks for sharing this -- I love the hopeful idea of angels, vs. our own often too-full minds... Who will we wrestle tonight, angels or our demons? Or, hopefully, the sirens will just sing us to sleep.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-79172166541687507802017-11-03T07:56:50.000-07:002017-11-03T07:56:50.000-07:00I am a big Paul Simon fan - he just gets more and ...I am a big Paul Simon fan - he just gets more and more inventive.

This certainly fits me, but only sometimes. Tonight is a full moon, so it may happen and I always blame the moon. Love that line: "Side by side with the moon". I've been there! Thanks and hope Simon helps with any sleep problems.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
