Stephen Bard - I Dreamt I Met Paul Simon Lyrics

I dreamt I met Paul Simon
He was carrying a flute
I said, "I really dig your music, man
For me, there is no substitute"
He said, "Yeah, well you know, I appreciate that
Always tried to do my best
A diamond in the desert
Means you're somewhat cursed but mostly blessed"
So many things I'd like to have said
All I could say was thank you
So many words stuck here in my head
All I could say was thank you
I dreamt I met Art Garfunkel outside Terminal 5
I said, "The way you sang those songs he wrote, man
Makes me glad to be alive"
He said, "Yeah, well you know, I appreciate that
The song always did come first
A diamond in the desert
Means you're mostly blessed but somewhat cursed"
Why is it always stupid pride that gunks it up somehow?
Humility and gratitude
Lord knows we need 'em now
Make the call, apologize
Let all those feelings go
If you need someone so bad
Don't be afraid to let 'em know
Let 'em know
Work it out
I dreamt I met Paul Simon
He was coming off the stage
I said, "Man, you're the last of a special breed
A treasure from another age"
He said, "Yeah, well you know, I appreciate that
Always tried to do my best
A diamond in the desert
Means you're somewhat cursed but mostly blessed"
