[Verse 1: Paul Simon]
We were married on a rainy day
The sky was yellow
And the grass was gray
We signed the papers
And we drove away
I do it for your love

[Verse 2: Paul Simon]
The rooms were musty
And the pipes were old
All that winter we shared a cold
Drank all the orange juice that we could hold
I do it for your love

[Bridge: Paul Simon]
Found a rug in an old junk shop
Brought it home to you
Along the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge: Paul Simon]
Found a rug in an old junk shop
Brought it home to you
Along the way the colors ran
[Verse 3: Paul Simon]
The sting of reason
The splash of tears
The northern and the southern hemispheres
Love emerges and it disappears
I do it for your love
I do it for your love
