Simon & Garfunkel

"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Silently for me.

Mama pyjama rolled outta bed
she ran to the police station
When the papa found out
he began to shout
he started the investigation
And it's against the law
it was against the law
What what mama saw
it was against the law
Mama looked down and
spit on the ground every time
my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of
attention
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm goin
I'm on my way
takin my time
but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
Seein me and Julio
down by the schoolyard
Seein me and Julio
down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days
they're gonna take me away
When the press let the story leak
Now when the radical breach comes to
get me released
Appears all on the
cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm goin
But I'm on my way
takin my time
but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
Seein me and Julio
down by the schoolyard
Seein me and Julio
down by the schoolyard
Seein me and Julio
down by the schoolyard

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
스카보로 시장으로 가시는 길인가요?
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
파슬리,세이지,로즈마리 그리고 백리향
Remember me to one who lives there
그곳에 살고 있는 한 여인에게
내 안부를 전해주세요
She once was a true love of mine
그녀는 예전 내가 진정 사랑했던 여인이라구

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
그녀에게 저를 위해
삼베옷 하나만 만들어 달라고 전해주세요
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
파슬리,세이지,로즈마리 그리고 백리향
Without no seams nor needless work
솔기도 자수도 넣을 필요 없다고 말입니다
Then she'll be a true love of mine
그러면 그녀는 내 진실한 사랑이 될겁니다

Tell her to find me an acre of land
내게 한 에이커의 땅을 찾아달라고 전해주세요
parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
파슬리,세이지,로즈마리 그리고 백리향
Between the salt water and the sea strands
바다와 바닷가 사이에 있는 저 땅 말입니다
Then she'll be a true love of mine
그러면 그녀는 저의 진실한 사랑이 될겁니다

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
가죽을 씌운 낫으로 그 꽃들을 베어달라고 전해 주세요
Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme
파슬리,세이지,로즈마리 그리고 백리향
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
그리고 그 모든 꽃들을 거두어 화환을 만들어 달라고 말입니다
Then she'll be a true love of mine
그러면 그녀는 저의 진실한 사랑이 될겁니다

April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again.

June, she'll change her tune,
In restless walks she'll prowl the night;
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.

August, die she must,
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
September I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old.

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

We both fell sound asleep
Wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
and we're in trouble deep
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, what are we gonna tell your Mama?
What are we gonna tell your Pop?
What are we gonna tell our friends
when they say "Ooh la la"?
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, I told your Mama that you'd be in by ten
Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
We gotta go home

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

The movie wasn't so hot
It didn't have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked
our reputation is shot
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, what are we gonna tell your Mama?
What are we gonna tell your Pop?
What are we gonna tell our friends
when they say "Ooh la la"?
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

I met my old lover on the street last night,
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled,
And we talked about some old times,
And we drank ourselves some beers,
Still crazy after all these years,
Oh, still crazy after all these years.

I'm not the kind of man who tends to socialize,
I seem to learn on old familiar ways,
And I ain't no fool for love songs,
That whisper in my ears.
Still crazy after all these years,
Oh, still crazy after all these years.

Four in the morning,
Crapped out,
Yawning,
Longing my life away.
I'll never worry,
Why should I?
It's all gonna fade.

Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars,
I fear I'll do some damage one fine day,
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers.
Still crazy after all these years,
Oh, still crazy,
Still crazy,
Still crazy after all these years

Many's the time I've been mistaken, and many times confused
Yes and I've often felt forsaken, and certainly misused
Ah but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary thru my bones
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon-vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees
But it's alright, it's alright, for we live so well, so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help it I wonder what's gone wrong

And I dreamed I was dying, I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me, smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying, and high up above my eyes could clearly see
The statue of liberty, sailing away to sea, and I dreamed I was flying

But we come on a ship they called Mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages' most uncertain hours and sing an American tune
And it's alright, oh it's alright, it's alright, you can be forever blessed
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day and I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying, to get some rest

The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
It couldn't have been no more
than one or two
I remember there's a radio
Comin from the room next door
And my mother laughed the way
some ladies do
When it's late in the evening
And the music's seeping through
The next thing I remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys
I'm with my troops yeah
And down along the avenue
Some guys were shootin pool And I
heard the sound
of a cappella groups yeah
Singing late in the evening
And all the girls
out on the stoops yeah
Then I learned to play
some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke
myself a J And
when I came back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up
loud and began to play
And it was late in the evening
And I blew that room away

The first thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl
No matter what I do
Well I guess
I've been in love before
And once or twice
I been on the floor
But I never loved no one
The way I loved you
It was late in the evening
And all the music seeping through

The first thing I remember
When you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl
No matter what I do
Well I guess
I've been in love before
And once or twice
I been on the floor
But I never loved no one
The way I loved you
It was late in the evening
And all the music seeping through

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

I know a man, he came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
He said "Delores, I live in fear
My love for you is so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear"

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

I know a woman, became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She said "A good day ain't got not rain"
She said "A bad day's when I lie in bed
And I think of things that might have been"

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he had done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and he headed home again

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
We're working our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip slidin' away

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

New York -- to that tall skyline I come
Flyin' in from London to your door
New York -- lookin' down on Central Park
Where they say you should not wander after dark

New York -- like a scene from all those movies
But you're real enough to me, for there's a heart
A heart that lives in New York

A heart in New York arose on the street
I write my song to that city heartbeat
A heart in New York -- the love in her eyes
An open door and a friend for the night

New York -- you got money on your mind
And my words won't make a dime's worth of difference
So here's to you, New York

When I think back
On all the crap
I learned in high school
Its a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasnt hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those
nice bright colors
They give us the
greens of summers
Makes you think all the
worlds a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take
my kodachrome away

If you took all the girls
I knew When I was single
And brought them all
together for one night
I know theyd never match
My sweet imagination
And everything looks
worse in black and white
Kodachrome
They give us those
nice bright colors
They give us the
greens of summers
Makes you think all the
worlds a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama dont take my
kodachrome away

mama don't take my
kodachrome away
mama don't take my
kodachrome away
mama don't take my
kodachrome away
mama don't take my kodachrome
mama don't take my kodachrome
mama don't take my kodachrome
mama don't take my kodachrome
mama don't take my kodachrome
mama don't take my kodachrome
mama don't take my kodachrome

Maybellene
why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
why can't you be true
You've started back
doing the things you used to do
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene
in a coup de ville
A Cadillac arollin
on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The cadillac doin
bout ninety five
She's bumper to bumber
rollin' side by side
Maybellene
why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
why can't you be true
You've started back
doing the things you used to do
The motor cooled down
the heat went down
And that's when I heard
that highway sound
The Cadillac a sittin
like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten
a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac lookin
like it's sittin' still
And I caught Mabellene
at the top of the hill
Maybellene
why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
why can't you be true
You've started back
doing the things you used to do

Oh Maybellene
why can't you be true
Oh Maybellene
why can't you be true
You've started back
doing the things you used to do
You've started back
doing the things you used to do
You've started back
doing the things you used to do

When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all I'm on your side oh when times get rough And friend just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down. When you're down and out when you're on the street when evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part oh when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down. Sail on silver girl, sail on by your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine oh if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I'll ease your mind. Like a bridge over troubled water I'll ease your mind.

the problem is all inside your head,she said to me
the answer is easy if you take it logically.
i'de like to help you in your struggle to be free
there must be 50 ways to leave your lover.

she said it's really not my habit to intrude
for the more i hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
so i repeat my self,at the risk of being cruel
there must be 50 ways to leave your lover

chorus:
just slip out the back,Jack
make a new plan,Stan
don't need to be coy,Roy
just listen to me
hop on the bus,Gus
don't need to discuss much
just drop off the key,Lee
and get yourself free.

she said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
i wish there was somthing i could do to make you smile again
i said,i appreciate that,
and would you please explain about the 50 ways.

she said,why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
and i believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
and then she kissed me and i realized she probably was rihgt
there must be 50 ways to leave your lover
50ways to leve your lover...

chorus...

I am just a poor boy
나는 가난한 사내
Though my story's seldom told
사람들은 내 이야기를 잘 모르겠지만
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
주머니 한 가득 채워 줄 거란 말
있는 힘을 다해 주먹을 날렸었지
Such are promises
그런 약속을 믿었어
All lies, and jests
모두 거짓과 허풍일 뿐이련안
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
인간은 원하는 말만 들으려고 하고
And disregards the rest
다른 것에 대해선 고개 돌려버리지

When I left my home and my family
내가 집과 가족을 떠났을때
I was no more than a boy
나는 그저 소년에 불과했었어
In the company of strangers
낯선 군중들
In the quiet of the railway station
기차역의 적막 속에서
Running scared
겁에 질려 달음질치며
Llaying low
보일 듯 말 듯 웅크린 채
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
누더기를 걸친 이들이 살아가는
빈민가를 찾아 헤매다
Looking for the places only they would know
오직 그들만이 알고 있는 그런 곳을 전전했었지

Lie-la-lie Lie-la-la-la--la-lie
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie

Asking only workman's wages
막노동의 대가 정도만 바라며
I come looking for a job
일자리를 찾아 다녔지만
But I get no offers
아무도 일을 안 주더군
Just a "come on" from the whores
on seventh Avenue
7번가 창녀들의 유혹의 말 외에는
I do declare there were times
그래, 난 말할 수 있어
When I was so lonesome
너무나 외로웠을 땐
I took some comfort there
나도 그런 곳에서 평안을 구했어

Ooo-la-la
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-la-la--la-lie
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie

Then I'm laying out my winterclothes
그러다간 겨울 옷가지를 늘어놓고
And wishing I was gone, going home
떠나고 싶어하는 거야, 집으로 가고 있다면
Where the New York City
winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me, going home
뉴욕의 매서운 겨울바람에도 살갗 터지지 않는
눈물 흘리지 않는 그 곳, 집으로

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
텅 빈 벌판 위
싸움으로 돈을 버는 한 권투 선수가 서 있다
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
그 얼굴의 상처들은, 자신을 무너뜨리고
고통으로 비명 지를 때까지 찍어 내리던
그 모든 주먹의 기억을 싣고 있지
In his anger and his shame
분노와 치욕 속에서 되뇌이는 건
I am leaving, I am leaving
떠나야지, 떠나야지
But the fighter still remains
하지만, 선수는 아직 떠나지 못해요

Lie-la-lie Lie-la-la-la--la-lie
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-la-la-la-la-lie

Old friends, old friends sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blowin´ through the grass
Falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends, memory brushes the same years, silently sharing the same fears

Slow down, you move to fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kickin' down the cobblestones
Lookin' for fun and Feelin' Groovy

Hello lamppost
what's knowing?
I've come to watch your flowers growing
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Dootin' doo-doo
Feelin' Groovy

I got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life I love you
All is Groovy.

Hello darkness, my old friend
잘 있었니, 내 오랜 친구 어둠아
I've come to talk with you again
너와 다시 얘기하려고 왔어
Because a vision softly creeping
어떤 환영이 살며시 다가와
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
내가 잠든 사이 씨를 뿌리고 갔거든
And the vision that was planted in my brain
내 머리 속에 심어진 그 환영은
still remains within the sound of silence
침묵의 소리 속에 아직도 남아있어

In restless dreams I walked alone
불안한 꿈속에서 난 홀로 걸었어
Narrow streets of cobblestone
자갈이 깔린 좁은 골목길을 말이야
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
가로등 불빛의 원광 아래서
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
추위와 습기를 막으려 옷깃을 올려 세웠지
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash
of a neon light that split the night
그 때 내 눈은 밤을 가르는
네온 불빛에 찌르는 듯 했고
and touched the sound of silence
그 불빛은 침묵의 소리를 깨뜨렸어

And in the naked light I saw
ten thousand people maybe more
적나라한 불빛 속에서 난 보았어
만 명 어쩌면 더 많은 사람들을 말이야
People talking without speaking
그 사람들은 대화가 아닌 말을 지껄이고
People hearing without listening
귀기울이지 않은 채 흘려 듣고
People writing songs that voices never share
목소리로는 표현할 수 없는 노래를 지어 내고 있었어
No one dare disturb the sound of silence
그리고 아무도 감히 그 침묵의 소리를 깨뜨리지 못했지

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
내가 이렇게 말했어 "바보들,
silence like a cancer grows.
당신들은 암처럼 퍼져 나가는 침묵이 뭔지 모르나요
Hear my words that I might teach you.
내가 알려 줄테니 잘 들어요
Take my arms that I might reach you."
내 손을 잡아 봐요. 내가 다가갈께요."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
하지만 내 말은 소리없이 내리는 비처럼
and echoed in the wells of silence
침묵의 샘 안에 떨어져 메아리 쳤어

And the people bowed
and prayed to the neon god they made
사람들은 자신이 만들어 낸 네온 신에게 절하고 기도하지
And the sign flashed out its warning
in the words that it was forming
그리고 그 네온이 만들어 낸 구에 경고의 메시지가 빛났어

And the sign said "The words
of the prophets are written on the"
이렇게 쓰여 있었지 예언자의 말씀은
subway walls and tenement halls"
지하철 벽이나 빈민가 건물 현관에 적혀 있다"
고 말이야
And whispered in the sounds of silence
그리고 침묵의 소리로 속삭였어

hello,darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again,
because a vision softly creeping.
I left the seeds while I was sleeping,
and the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains with in the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobble stone,
neath the halo of a street-lamp
turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
split the night and touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light,I saw
ten thousand people maybe more
people talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
people writing songs that voices never share
no one dare disturb the sound of silence

"Fools!" said I "you do not know,
SILENCE LIKE CANCER GROW."
"hear my words that i might teach you,
take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
and echoed in the walls of silence .
and the people bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made.
and the sign flached out it's warning.
In the words that it was forming,
and the signs said,
"the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
and tenement halls"
and whisper'd in the sound of silence.

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song.
I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
Time hurries on.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl.
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem I meant to write.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Hello, Hello, Hello, Good-bye,
Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye,
That's all there is.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit.
Blessed is the lamb whose blood flows.
Blessed are the sat upon, Spat upon, Ratted on,
O Lord, Why have you forsaken me?
I got no place to go,
I've walked around Soho for the last night or so.
Ah, but it doesn't matter, no.

Blessed is the land and the kingdom.
Blessed is the man whose soul belongs to.
Blessed are the meth drinkers, Pot sellers, Illusion dwellers.
O Lord, Why have you forsaken me?
My words trickle down, like a wound
That I have no intention to heal.

Blessed are the stained glass, window pane glass.
Blessed is the church service makes me nervous
Blessed are the penny rookers, Cheap hookers, Groovy lookers.
O Lord, Why have you forsaken me?
I have tended my own garden
Much too long.

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Topping on my roof and walls

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies
My minds's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to thyme

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night.
Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow,
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.

But I've got to creep down the alley way,
Fly down the highway,
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
Somewhere they can't find me.

Oh baby, you don't know what I've done,
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law.
While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me,
I held up and robbed a liquor store.

But I've got to creep down the alley way,
Fly down the highway,
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
Somewhere they can't find me.

Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
A scene badly written in which I must play.
And thought it puts me up tight to leave you,
I know it's not right to leave you,
When morning is just a few hours away.

But I've got to creep down the alley way,
Fly down the highway,
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
Somewhere they can't find me.

They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town,
With political connections to spread his wealth around.
Born into society, a banker's only child,
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.

The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.

He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.

He was a most peculiar man.
That's what Mrs. Riordan said and she should know;
She lived upstairs from him
She said he was a most peculiar man.

He was a most peculiar man.
He lived all alone within a house,
Within a room, within himself,
A most peculiar man.

He had no friends, he seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him,
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care
And he wasn't like them.
Oh, no! he was a most peculiar man.

He died last Saturday.
He turned on the gas and he went to sleep
With the windows closed so he'd never wake up
To his silent world and his tiny room;
And Mrs. Riordan says he has a brother somewhere
Who should be notified soon.
And all the people said, "What a shame that he's dead,
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"

April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again.

June, she'll change her tune,
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.

August, die she must,
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old.

Bad news, bad news!
I heard you're packing to leave!
I come arunning right over;
I just couldn't believe it,
I just couldn't believe it.

Oh, baby, baby
You must be out of your mind.
Do you know what you're kicking away?
We've got a groovy thing goin', baby,
We've got a groovy thing.

I never done you no wrong,
I never hit you when you're down,
I always gave you good loving,
I never ran around,
I never ran around.

Oh, baby, baby
You must be out of your mind.
Do you know what you're kicking away?
We've got a groovy thing goin', baby,
We've got a groovy thing.

There's something you ought to know
If you're fixing to go,
I can't make it without you;
No no no no, no, no, no, no,
No no no no, no, no, no.

Oh, baby, baby
You must be out of your mind.
Do you know what you're kicking away?
We've got a groovy thing goin', baby,
We've got a groovy thing.

We've got a groovy thing goin', baby,
We've got a groovy thing.

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

Old Friends
Old Friends
Sat on their park bench
like bookends
Newspaper blowin' through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends
Old Friends
Winter companions the old men
Lost in thier overcoats
Waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting
through trees
Settle like dust
On the shoulders of the old friends
Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy
Old Friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fear

A time it was
It was a time
A time it was
It was a time
A time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago it must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent
I am a rock I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need for friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving
I disdain
I am a rock I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I'd never loved
I never would have cried
I am a rock I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and
no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island

And the rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America
"우리 연인이 되어서 우리의 재산을 합치는 게 어떨까?"
"난 가방 안에 돈을 좀 가져왔어."
그래서 우리는 담배 한 보루와 와그너여사 파이를 샀다.
그리고 우리는 미국을 찾아 걸어서 떠났다.

"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America

Someone told me
It's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it's true
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
Oh ho ho ho
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm

It's a light and tumble journey
From the East Side to the park
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo

But you can take the crosstown bus
If it's raining or it's cold
And the animals will love it
If you do

If ya do now

Something tells me
It's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it's true
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
Oh ho ho ho
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm

The monkeys stand for honesty
Giraffes are insincere
And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb
Ourang-outangs are skeptical
Of changes in their cages
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum

Zebras are reactionaries
Antelopes are missionaries
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently
What a gas
Ya gotta come and see
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo

My daddy was the family bassman
My mamma was an engineer
And I was born one dark gray morn
With music coming in my ears
In my ears

They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
Hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number
I wonder how your engines feel
Ba ba ba ba
Scoot down the road
What's my number
I wonder how your engines feel

My daddy was a prominent frogman
My mamma's in the Naval Reserve
When I was young I carried a gun
But I never got the chance to serve
I did not serve

They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
Hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number
I wonder how your engines feel
Ba ba ba ba
Scoot down the road
What's my number
I wonder how your engines feel

My daddy got a big promotion
My mamma got a raise in pay
There's no one home, we're all alone
Oh come into my room and play
Yes we can play

I'm not talking about your pigtails
But I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal
Hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number
I wonder how your engines feel
Ba ba ba ba
Scoot down the road
What's my number
I wonder how your engines feel

I hear the drizzle of the rain
like a memory it falls
soft and warm continuing
tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain
drenched streets
to England where my heart lies

My minds distracted and diffused
my thoughts are many miles away
they lie with you and you're asleep
kiss you when you start your day
and the song
I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
writing songs I can't believe
with words that tear and
strain to rhyme

and so you see I have come to doubt
all that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
the only truth I know is you
and as I watch the drops of rain
weave thier weary paths and I
I know that I am like the rain
there but for the grace of you go I

(*)
Bye Bye Love
Bye Bye Happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry
Bye Bye Love
Bye Bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye my love goodbye
Bye my love goodbye

There goes my baby
With someone new
She sure looks happy
I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance
That might have been

(* Repeat)

I'm through with romance
I'm through with love
I'm through with
Counting that stars above
And here's the reason
That I'm so free
My loving baby is through with me

Are you going to Scarborough Fair Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambric shirt On the side of a hill in the deep forest green Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme Tracing of sparrow on the snow crested brown Without no seams nor needless work Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain Then she'll be a true love of mine Sleeps unaware of the clarion call Tell her to find me an acre of land On the side of a hill a sprinking of leaves parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme Washes the grave with silvery tears Between the salt water and the sea strands A soldier cleans and polishes a gun Then she'll be a true love of mine Sleeps unaware of the clarion call Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme Generals order their soldier to kill And gather it all in a bunch of heather And to fight for a cause Then she'll be a true love of mine they've long ago forgotten Are you going to Scarborough Fair Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine

I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination

On a tour of one night
stands my suitcase and
guitar in hand
And ev'ry stop is neatly
planned for a poet and a
one man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines

And each town looks the same to me
the movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see
reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
and I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend

But all my words come back to me
in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting

Silently for me

Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk
with you again
Because a vision
softly creeping
left it's seeds while
I was sleeping
And the vision
that was planted in my brain
still remains
within the sound of silence
In restless dreams
I walked alone
narrow streets
of cobblestone
'Neath the halo
of a street lamp
I turned my collar
to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of
a neon light
that split the night
and touched the sound
of silence
And in the naked light I saw
ten thousand
people maybe more
People talking
without speaking
people hearing
without listening
people writing songs
that voices never share
And no one dare
disturb the sound of silence
Fools said I You do not know
silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that
I might teach you
Take my arms that
I might reach you
But my words
like silent raindrops fell
and echoed
in the wells of silence
And the people
bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made
And the sign
flashed out it's warning
in the words
that it was forming
And the sign said The
words of the prophets are
written on the subway walls
and tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds
of silence

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

I'd rather be
a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would
if I could
I surely would

I'd rather be
a hammer than a nail
Yes I would
if I only could
I surely would
Away I'd rather sail away
Like a swan
that's here and gone
A man gets tied up
to the ground
He gives the world
its saddest sound
Its saddest sound

I'd rather be
a forest than a street
Yes I would
if I could
I surely would
I'd rather feel
the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would
if I only could
I surely would

Many's the time I've been mistaken, and many times confused
Yes and I've often felt forsaken, and certainly misused
Ah but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary thru my bones
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon-vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees
But it's alright, it's alright, for we live so well, so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help it I wonder what's gone wrong

And I dreamed I was dying, I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me, smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying, and high up above my eyes could clearly see
The statue of liberty, sailing away to sea, and I dreamed I was flying

But we come on a ship they called Mayflower
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages' most uncertain hours and sing an American tune
And it's alright, oh it's alright, it's alright, you can be forever blessed
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day and I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying, to get some rest

In my little town
I grew up believing
God keeps his eye on us all
And he used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord I recall my little town
Coming home after school
Riding my bike past the gates of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging out shirts in the dirty breeze
And after it rains there's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagination they lack
Everything's the same back in my little town

In my little town I never meant nothing
I was just my father's son
Saving my money
Dreamin of glory
Twitching like a finger on a trigger of a gun

Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town

When you're weary feelin small
when tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough
And friend just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down.

When you're down and out when you're on the street
when evening fall so hard
I will comfort you
I'm take your part oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down.

Sail on silver girl sail on by
your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over triubled water I'll aeseyour mind.

I am just a poor boy
Though my story
is seldom told
I have squandered
my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
all lies and jest Still
a man hears
what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest Mm mm

When I left my home
and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of
a railway station
Running scared
laying low Seeking out
the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
only they would know
Lie la lie

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come on from the
whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were
times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort
there Ooo la la

Lie la lie

Then I'm laying out
my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
going home
Where the New York City
winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that
laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
I am leaving I am leaving
But the fighter
still remains

Lie la lie

I was twenty one years
when I wrote this song
twenty two now
but I won't be for long
Time hurries on
And the leaves that are green
turn to brown
And they wither in the wind
And they crumble in your hand
Once my heart was filled
with the love of a girl
I held her close
but she faded in the night
Like a poem I meant to write
And the leaves that are green
turn to brown
And they wither in the wind
And they crumble in your hand
I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripple run away
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green
turn to brown
And they wither in the wind
And they crumble in your hand
Hello hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
That's all there is
And the leaves that are green
turn to brown

I am a citizen of the planet
I was born here
Im going to die here
Come what may
I am entitled by my birth
To the treasures of the earth
No one must be denied these
No one must be denied
Easy dreams
At the end of a chain-smokin day
Easy dreams at the end of the day

Who am I to believe
That the future we perceive
Lies in danger and the dangers increase
Who are we to demand
That the leaders of the land
Hear the voices of reason and peace

We are the citizens of the planet
We were born here
Were going to die here
Come what may
We are entitled by our birth
To the treasures of the earth
No one must be denied these
No one must be denied
Easy dreams at the end of a chain-smokin day
Easy dreams at the end of the day

Who am I to deny
What my eyes can clearly see
And raise a child with a flame in his heart
Who are we to believe
That these dreams are just nave
When weve all disagreed from the start

We are the citizens of the planet
We were born here
Were gong to die here
Come what may
We are entitled by our birth
To the treasures of the earth
No one must be denied these
No one must be denied
Easy dreams at the end of a chain-smokin day
Easy dreams at the end of the day

Well you can tell the world about this
You can tell the nation about that
Tell'em what the master has done
Tell'em that the gospel has come
Tell'em that the victory's been won
He brought joy,joy,joy,joy,joy,joy,
Into my heart

Well my Lord spoke, he spoke so well
Yes he did, yes he did
Talked about the flames that burn in hell
Yes he did, yes he did

Now my Lord spoke, he spoke so well
Yes he did, yes he did
Talked about the children of Israel
Yes he did, yes he did
He brought joy,joy,joy into my heart

Well my Lord spoke, he spoke to me
Yes he did, yes he did
Talkin' about a man from Galilee
Yes he did, yes he did

My Lord spoke, he spoke to me
Yes he did, yes he did
Talkin' about a man from Galilee
Yes he did, yes he did

Well I don't know but I've been told
Yes he did, yes he did
Streets of heaven are paved with gold
Yes he did, yes he did
Now the Jordan River is chilly and wide

Yes he did, yes he did
I got a home on the other side
Yes he did, yes he did
He brought joy,joy,joy into my heart -

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and lowered their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
And guns and sorts a nd uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
Like a shroud it covers Bleecker Street
Fills the alleys where men sleep
Hides the shepherd from the sheep

Voices leaking from a sad cafe
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On Bleecker Street

A poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy, holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On Bleecker Street

I head a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustainin'
It's a long road to Caanan
On Bleecker Street
Bleecker Street

Who will love a little sparrow
Who's traveled far and
cries for rest Not I
said the Oak Tree I won't share
my branches with no sparrow's nest
And my blanket of leaves
won't warm her cold breast
Who will love a little sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word
Not I said the Swan
The entire idea is utterly absurd
I'd be laughed at and scorned
if the other swans heard

Who will take pity in his heart
And who will feed a starving sparrow
Not I said the Golden Wheat
I would if I could but I cannot
I know I need all my grain to
prosper and grow Who will
love a little sparrow
Will no one write her eulogy
I will said the Earth
For all I've created returns
unto me From dust were ye made
and dust ye shall be

Benedictus qui est venit
In nomine Domine
In nomine
In nomine
In nomine Domine
In nomine Domine
In nomine
In nomine

to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
that split the night
and touched the sound
of silence
And in the naked light I saw
ten thousand people
maybe more
People talking without
speaking
people hearing without
listening
people writing songs
that voices never share
And no one dare
disturb the sound of silence
Fools said I
You do not know
silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might
teach you
Take my arms that I might
reach you
But my words
like silent raindrops fell
echoed in the wells
of silence
And the people
bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out
its warning
in the words that
it was forming
And the sign said
The words of the
prophets are
written on the subway walls
and tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds
of silence

He was my brother
Five years older than I
He was my brother
Twenty-three years old the day he died

Freedom writer
They cursed my brother to his face
Go home outsider
This town's gonna be your buryin' place

He was singin' on his knees
An angry mob trailed along
They shot my brother dead
Because he hated what was wrong

He was my brother
Tears can't bring him back to me
He was my brother
And he died so his brothers could be free
He died so his brothers could be free

As we marched down to Faneri-o
As we marched down to Faneri-o
Our captain fell n love with a lady like a dove
And they called her name, pretty Peggy-o
Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o
Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o
Come a runnin' down the stairs, combin' back
your yellow hair
You're the prettiest little girl I've ever seen-o

In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o
In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o
In a carriage you will ride, with your true love by
your side
As far as any maiden in the ar-e-o
What will your mother say, pretry Peggy-o?
What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-o?
What will your mother say, when she finds you've
gone away
To places far and strange to Faneri-o?

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o
If ever I return, all your cities I will burn
Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o
Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o

Hallelujah!
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Hallelujah!
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watch
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shown a holy light

Hallelujah!
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Hallelujah!
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Jesus Christ is born

The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy bees
Are joining in the flowers, among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky

Now the sun is in the west
Little kids go home to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark
And the sun is in the west

Now the sun is sinking low
Children playin' know it's time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low

Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth

Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain, and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on the knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start Swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesise with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, Congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
as she lies here beside me
asleep with the night
and her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight

she is soft, she is warm, but my heart remains heavy
and I watch as her breasts, gently rise, gently fall
for I know with the first line of dawn I'll be leaving
and tonight will be all I have left to recall

oh what have I done, why have I done it?
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law
for 25 dollars and pieces of silver
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store

my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion
a scene badly written in which I must play
yet I know as I gaze at my young love beside me
the morning is just a few hours away

Old friends, old friends sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blowin´ through the grass
Falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends, memory brushes the same years, silently sharing the same fears

Time it was and what a time it was.
It was a time of innocence.
A time of confidences.
Long ago it must be,
I have a photograph,
Preserve your memories,
They're all that's left you

Good God! Don't jump!
A boy sat on the ledge
An old man who had fainted was revived
And everyone agreed 'twould be a miracle indeed
If the boy survived

"Save the life of my child!"
Cried the desperate mother

The woman from the supermarket
Ran to call the cops
"He must be high on something" someone said
Though it never made The New York Times
In The Daily News, the caption read

"Save the life of my child!"
Cried the desperate mother

(Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again)

A patrol car passing by
Halted to a stop
Said officer MacDougal in dismay:
"The force can't do a decent job
'Cause the kids got no respect
For the law today (and blah blah blah)"

"Save the life of my child!"
Cried the desperate mother

"Oh what's becoming of the children?"
People asking each other

When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd
And it made them wild
In an atmosphere of freaky holiday
When the spotlight hit the boy
And the crowd began to cheer
He flew away

Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America
"우리 연인이 되어서 우리의 재산을 합치는 게 어떨까?"
"난 가방 안에 돈을 좀 가져왔어."
그래서 우리는 담배 한 보루와 와그너여사 파이를 샀다.
그리고 우리는 미국을 찾아 걸어서 떠났다.

"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America

Why don't we stop fooling ourselves?
The game is over, over, over

No good times, no bad times
There's no times at all
Just The New York Times
Sitting on the windowsill
Near the flowers

We might as well be apart
It hardly matters
We sleep separately
And drop a smile passing in the hall
But there's no laughs left
'Cause we laughed them all
And we laughed them all
In a very short time

Time
Is tapping on my forehead
Hanging from my mirror
Rattling the teacups
And I wonder
How long can I delay?
We're just a habit
Like Saccharin

And I'm habitually feelin' kinda blue

But each time I try on
The thought of leaving you
I stop
I stop and think it over

Man 1: I got little in this world. I give honesty without regret. One hundred dollars for that picture. I remember taking a picture with...

Woman 1: Ooh! Let me show you. Let me show you our picture. This was me and my husband when we were first married.

Woman 2: I always slept on one side, left room for my husband.

Woman 1: And that's me when we were sixteen.

Woman 2: But this, this, this, this is not the case. I still do it. I still lay on the half of the bed. (pause) We used to sneak in...

Man 2: Still haven't seen the doctor I was seein'; there's been blood for the last, eh, forty-eight hours, and I can't get up the mucus for the last, eh, two, three months... oh yes, and I maintain, I maintain strongly, to this minute, I don't think it's an ordinary cold.

Woman 3: God forgive me, but an old person without money is pathetic.

Woman 4: Children, and mothers, that's the way we have it. A mother-- they are [mumbling I can't make out].

Woman 5: 'Cause mothers do too much.

Woman 4: That is mother's life, to live for your child. (pause) Yes, my dear.

Man 3: I couldn't get younger. I have to be an old man. That's all. Well...

Woman 6: Are you happy here, honey? Are you happy living with us?

Man 3: So anytime I walk with Lou and... that's all.

Woman 6: Mr. Singer? Are you happy living with us here?

Woman 7: But we don't do that, dear.

Woman 6: But are you happy?

Woman 7: If you mean, if, if you could say, yes, and I thought, and I was so happy, and everybody, "What is this? What is it?"

Woman 8: It just is, beautiful. Like, just a room. Your own room, in your own home.

Time it was and what a time it was.
It was a time of innocence.
A time of confidences.
Long ago it must be,
I have a photograph,
Preserve your memories,
They're all that's left you

When she goes, she's gone.
If she stays, she stays here.
The girl does what she wants to do.
She knows what she wants to do.
And I know I'm fakin' it,
I'm not really makin' it.

I'm such a dubious soul,
And a walk in the garden
Wears me down.
Tangled in the fallen vines,
Pickin' up the punch lines,
I've just been fakin' it,
Not really makin' it.

Is there any danger?
No, no, not really.
Just lean on me.
Takin' time to treat
Your friendly neighbors honestly.
I've just been fakin' it,
I'm not really makin' it.
This feeling of fakin' it-
I still haven't shaken it.

Prior to this lifetime
I surely was a tailor.
("Good morning, Mr. Leitch.
Have you had a busy day?")
I own the tailor's face and hands
I am the tailor's face and hands and
I know I'm fakin' it,
I'm not really makin' it.
This feeling of fakin' it-
I still haven't shaken it.

Wish I was a Kellogg's Cornflake
Floatin' in my bowl takin' movies
Relaxin' a while, livin' in style
Talkin' to a raisin who 'casionally plays L.A.
Casually glancing at his toupee

Wish I was an English muffin
'Bout to make the most out of a toaster
I'd ease myself down
Comin' up brown
I prefer boysenberry
More than any ordinary jam
I'm a "Citizens for Boysenberry Jam" fan

Ah, South California

If I become a first lieutenant
Would you put my photo on your piano?
"To Maryjane-
Best wishes, Martin"
(Old Roger draft-dodger
Leavin' by the basement door)
Everybody knows what he's
Tippy-toeing down there for

And here's to you
Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than
you will know
Wo wo wo
God bless you please
Mrs Robinson
Heaven holds a place for
those who pray
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
We'd like to know a little bit
about you for our files
We'd like to help you
learn to help yourself
Look around you
all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds
until you feel at home
And here's to you
Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than
you will know
Wo wo wo
God bless you please
Mrs Robinson
Heaven holds a place for
those who pray
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hide it in a hiding place
where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry
with your cupcakes
It's a little secret
just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all
you've got to hide it
from the kids
Coo coo ca choo
Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than
you will know
Wo wo wo
God bless you please
Mrs Robinson
Heaven holds a place for
those who pray
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Sitting on a sofa
on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it
shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at it you lose
Where have you gone
Joe DiMaggio A nation turns
its lonely eyes to you
Woo woo woo
What's that you say
Mrs Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Time,
Time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities.

I was so hard to please.
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Hear the Salvation Army band.
Down by the riverside's
Bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned.

Carry your cup in your hand.
And look around.
Leaves are brown.
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Hang on to your hopes, my friend.
That's an easy thing to say,
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again.
Look around,
The grass is high,
The fields are ripe,
It's the springtime of my life.

Seasons change with the scenery;
Weaving time in a tapestry.
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skips
Looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme.

Drinking my vodka and lime,
I look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Someone told me
It's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it's true
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
Oh ho ho ho
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm

It's a light and tumble journey
From the East Side to the park
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo

But you can take the crosstown bus
If it's raining or it's cold
And the animals will love it
If you do

If ya do now

Something tells me
It's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it's true
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
Oh ho ho ho
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm

The monkeys stand for honesty
Giraffes are insincere
And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb
Ourang-outangs are skeptical
Of changes in their cages
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum

Zebras are reactionaries
Antelopes are missionaries
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently
What a gas
Ya gotta come and see
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo

You don't know that you love me
You don't know but I know that you do
You may think that you're above me, yeah
What you think isn't always true

Don't try to debate me,
You should know that I'm womanly wise
Still you try to manipulate me
You don't know where your interest lies

No, you don't know where your interest lies
You don't begin to comprehend

You're just a game I like to play
You may think that we're friends all right
But I won't let friendship get in my way,
No, I won't let friendship get in my way,

Indications indicate running the same riff will turn you around
Obviously you're going to blow it,
But you don't know it

You don't know that you love me
You don't know but I know that you do
You may think that you're above me, yeah
What you think isn't always true

Don't try to debate me,
You should know that I'm womanly wise
Still you try to manipulate me
You don't know where your interest lies

No, you don't know where your interest

Old friends, old friends sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blowin´ through the grass
Falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sun
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends, memory brushes the same years, silently sharing the same fears

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Jubilation, she loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing,
Jubilation, she loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing

Gee but its great to be back home
Home is where I want to be
I've been on the road so long my friend
that if you came along I know you couldn't disagree
its the same old story
Everywhere I go I get slandered
Libeled, I hear words I never heard in the bible
and I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine
Two steps away from the county line
Just trying to keep my customers satisfied
satisfied

Deputy sheriff said to me
tell me what you came here for boy
You better get your bags and flee
You're in trouble boy
And now you're heading into more
Its the same old story
Everywhere I go
I get slandered
Libeled
I hear words I never heard in the bible
and I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine

So long, Frank Lloyd Wright
I can't believe your song is gone so soon
I barely learned the tune
So soon
So soon

I'll remember Frank Lloyd Wright
All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn
I never laughed so long
So long
So long

Architects may come and
Architects may go and
Never change your point of view
When I run dry
I stop a while and think of you

Architects may come and
Architects may go and
Never change your point of view

So long, Frank Lloyd Wright
All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn
I never laughed so long
So long
So long

Feuilles oh, sauve' la vie moi, dans mes yeux mouilles oh.
Feuilles oh, sauve' la vie moi, dans mes yeux mouilles oh.
Pitie moi malade, mon coeur caille gang-gang, si me l'eau.
Pitie moi malade, mon coeur caille gang-gang, si lu bon gang-gang,
Sauve' la vie moi, dans mes yeux mouilles oh.

When you're weary feelin small
when tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough
And friend just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down.

When you're down and out when you're on the street
when evening fall so hard
I will comfort you
I'm take your part oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I'll lay me down.

Sail on silver girl sail on by
your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over triubled water I'll aeseyour mind.

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part'll go fine.
Fly down to Mexico.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
The only living boy in New York.
I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am
The only living boy in New York

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know here.

I know you've been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine
