Paul Simon - Shelter of Your Arms (unreleased work-in-progress) lyrics

[Spoken] OK, once more Wrap me, wrap me, wrap me, do In the shelter of your arms. I'm an extraordinary individual and I will do you no harm And I will tell you no lies If you don't want me to And if you want to I'll lie in the shelter of your arms In the palm of your embrace I could deny the obvious, I could rest my case, And I don't rest my case for no one If I'm not in the mood to. When I'm in the mood I try Take a long look at these laugh lines They go halfway around the block In the shelter of your arms, I'll stop the clock I'll stop the clock I'll stop the clock I lived a year once in a hotel 'Cause I failed to read a sign For a long time I was miserable then I felt just fine Now I feel so fine so often I'm like a textbook case Just a textbook case of fine [scat singing] Wrap me, wrap me, wrap me, do In the shelter of your arms. I'm an extraordinary individual and I won't do you no harm I won't tell you no lies Unless you want me to But if you want to I'll lie, lie in the shelter of your arms In the palm of your embrace [scat singing]
