Peace Like A River

Words & music by paul simon



Ah, peace like a river ran through the city

Long past the midnight curfew

We sat starry-eyed

Ooh, oh,we were satisfied

O-o-oh, when i remember

Misinformation followed us like a plague

Nobody knew from time to time

If the plans were changed

Oh, oh, oh, if the plans were changed.



You can beat us with wires

You can beat us with chains

You can run out your rules

But you know you can't outrun the history train

I seen a glorious day, aiee------





Ah, four in the morning

I woke up from out of my dreams

Nowhere to go but back to sleep

But i'm reconciled

Oh, oh, oh, i'm going to be up for a while

Oh, oh, oh, i'm going to be up for a while



Oh, oh, oh, i'm going to be up for a while
