Graceland/onion

I'm standing here weeping 
Listening to Paul Simon sing Graceland
Blaming the weeping on an onion
And aching in every part of my body
For arms to come around me
Encircle me and hold me tight
A quiet voice in my ear to say
"It's okay. It's okay."
But the lack of that is why I'm crying.
Not the onion
All the same, there is reason to believe
That we will be received
In Graceland
