Red Rubber Ball
Words & music by Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley
I should have known you'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this
and I learned it very well
Now I know you're not
the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again
it's all the same to me
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball
You never cared for secrets I'd confide
For you I'm just an ornament,
Something for your pride
Always running, never caring,
That's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time
were all you had to give
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball
The story's in the past with nothing to recall
I've got my life to live and I
don't need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took is
nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears,
that's all I'm gonna spend
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over,
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball
