about

"graceland" track 5 of "VIEW FROM THE MOON" an EP by Clayton Joseph Scott

COVER OF PAUL SIMON'S "Graceland"

lyrics

The Mississippi Delta
Was shining like a national guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the Civil War
I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
Memphis, Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland
She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said, "losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow"
Ooh, ooh, ooh
In Graceland, in Graceland
Memphis Tennessee,
Im going to graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland
And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland

There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
"Whoa, so this is what she means"
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Well, everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blowin strong
Whoa, oh, oh
In Graceland, in Graceland, Memphis Tennessee,
I'm going to Graceland
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
I'm going to Graceland

Clayton Joseph Scott Ashland, Oregon

Clayton Joseph Scott was born in Venice Beach, CA. He began his music career at the age of two when his father bought him a guitar and the “Born in the USA” vinyl by Bruce Springsteen. Troubadours like Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Bob Marley, served as the soundtracks of Clayton’s youth, and the art of story telling through song became an idea that shapes his music to this day. ... more
