She comes back

 to tell me sh

As if I didn't

             
 know my own b


ed
   
As if I'd neve

r noticed
              
The way she br

              
ushed her hair

          
 from her fore

head

And she said losing love
              
Is like a wind

           
ow in your hea

rt
              
Everybody sees

            
 you're blown 

 
apart
              
Everybody sees

[Verse]


There is a gir

l in New York 

City
              
Who calls hers

              
elf the human 

      
trampoline
    
And sometimes 

when I'm falli

ng, flying

Or tumbling in turmoil I say

WOh, so this i

s what she mea

ns
              
She means we'r

  
e bouncing int

o Graceland

And I see losing love
              
Is like a wind

           
ow in your hea

rt
              
Everybody sees

        
 you're blown 

apart
              
Everybody feel

      
s the wind blo

w

[Chorus]

             
Oooo in Gracel

              
and, in Gracel

     
and
             
I'm going to G

          
raceland
              
For reasons I 


cannot explain
              
There's some p

             
art of me want

     
s to see
          
Graceland

              
And I may be o

 
bliged to defe

nd
              
Every love, ev

    
ery ending
              
Or maybe there

Maybe I've a r

eason to belie
