Another Galaxy - Paul Simon

On the morning of her wedding day 
When no one was awake 
She drove across the border 
Leaving all the yellow roses on her wedding cake 
Her mother's tears, her breakfast order 

She's gone, gone, gone 

There is a moment, a chip in time 
When leaving home is the lesser crime 
When your eyes are blind with tears 
But your heart can see 
Another life, another galaxy 

That night her dreams are storm-tossed as a willow 
She hears the clouds 
She sees the eye of a hurricane 
As it sweeps across her island pillow 

But she's gone, gone, gone 

There is a moment, a chip in time 
When leaving home is the lesser crime 
When your eyes are blind with tears 
But your heart can see 
Another life, another galaxy
