Cover art for Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean lyrics by Paul Simon

But then comes a letter from home The handwriting's fragile and strange Something unstoppable set into motion Nothing is different, but everything's changed

I find these lines to be so strong, they always remind me of that moment I learnt my father died. Paul Simon is the master of lyrics, his songs are beautiful poems.
