Dazzling Blue

Truth or lie, the silence is revealing
An empty sky, a hidden mound of stone
But the CAT scan's eye sees what the heart's concealing
Now-a-days, when everything is known

Maybe love's an accident, or destiny is true
But you and I were born beneath a star of dazzling blue
Dazzling blue

Miles apart, though the miles can't measure distance
Worlds apart on a rainy afternoon
But the road gets dirty and it offers no resistance
So turn your amp up and play your lonesome tune

Maybe love's an accident, or destiny is true
But you and I were born beneath a star of dazzling blue
Dazzling blue

Dazzling blue, roses red, fine white linen
To make a marriage bed
And we'll build a wall that nothing can break through
And dream our dreams of dazzling blue

Sweet July, and we drove the Montauk Highway
And walked along the cliffs above the sea
And we wondered why, and imagined it was someday
And that is how the future came to be

Dazzling blue, roses red, fine white linen
To make a marriage bed
And we'll build a wall that nothing can break through
And dream our dreams of dazzling blue

Comentarios: Celebración del amor que se fortalece con el tiempo. No es un amor pasional e impulsivo, sino uno tranquilo, profundo y reconfortante. La canción transmite la sensación de estar en paz con alguien, de compartir un viaje juntos y de mirar el mundo con gratitud.

Paul Simon ha compartido que la canción está inspirada en su relación con su esposa, Edie Brickell, y que el título hace referencia al color favorito de ella, el dazzling blue, un tipo de color azul, el PANTONE 18-3949 para ser exactos.
