Simon and Garfunkle

Song Lyrics

I've been a fan of Simon & Garfunkle for a long time. I remember having both albums, 8-tracks and cassette tapes of their songs - dancing to them as a teenager in my bedroom at home. I hope these songs bring back memories for you!

HOMEWARD BOUND

IM SITTING IN THE RAILWAY STATION
GOT A TICKET FOR MY DESTINATION MMM
ON A TOUR OF ONE NIGHT STANDS
MY SUITCASE AND GUITAR IN HAND AND EVERY STOP IN NEATLY PLANNED
FOR A POET AND A ONE MAN BAND

HOMEWARD BOUND I WISH I WAS HOMEWARD BOUND
HOME WHERE MY THOUGHTS ESCAPING
HOME WHERE MY MUSICS PLAYING
HOME WHERE MY LOVE LIES WAITING SILENTLY FOR ME

EVERY DAYS AN ENDLESS STREAM
OF CIGARETTES AND MAGAZINES MMM
AND EACH TOWN LOOKS THE SAME TO ME
THE MOVIES AND THE FACTORIES AND EVERY STRANGERS FACE I SEE
REMINDS ME THAT I LONG TO BE

HOMEWARD BOUND I WISH I WAS HOMEWARD BOUND
HOME WHERE MY THOUGHTS ESCAPING
HOME WHERE MY MUSICS PLAYING
HOME WHERE MY LOVE LIES WAITING SILENTLY FOR ME

TONIGHT ILL SING MY SONGS AGAIN
ILL PLAY THE GAME AND PRETEND MMM
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 THOUGHTS ESCAPING
HOME WHERE MY MUSICS PLAYING
HOME WHERE MY LOVE LIES WAITING SILENTLY FOR ME

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

WHEN YOURE WEARY FEELIN SMALL
WHEN TEARS ARE IN YOUR EYES ILL DRY THEM ALL
IM ON YOUR SIDE OH-H-H
WHEN TIMES GET ROUGH AND FRIENDS JUST CANT BE FOUND
LIKE A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER I WILL LAY ME DOWN

WHEN YOURE DOWN AND OUT WHEN YOURE ON THE STREET
WHEN EVENING FALLS SO HARD I WILL COMFORT YOU
ILL TAKE YOUR PART OH-H-H
WHEN DARKNESS COMES AND PAIN IS ALL AROUND
LIKE A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER I WILL 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-H-H

IF YOU NEED A FRIEND IM SAILING RIGHT BEHIND
LIKE A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER I WILL EASE YOUR MIND

LIKE A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER I WILL EASE YOUR MIND

I AM A ROCK

A WINTERS DAY
IN A DEEP AND DARK DECEMBER
GAZING FROM MY WINDOW TO THE STREETS BELOW
ON A FRESHLY FALLEN SILENT SHROUD OF SNOW
I AM A ROCK I AM AN ISLAND

IVE BUILT WALLS
A FORTRESS DEEP AND MIGHTY
THAN NONE MAY PENETRATE
I HAVE NO NEED OF FRIENDSHIP FRIENDHIP CAUSES PAIN
ITS LAUGHTER AND ITS LOVING I DISDAIN
I AM A ROCK I AM AN ISLAND

DONT TALK OF LOVE
BUT IVE HEARD THE WORDS BEFORE
ITS SLEEPING IN MY MEMORY
I WONT 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 ARMOUR
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

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND IVE COME TO TALK WITH YOU AGAIN
BECAUSE A VISION SOFTLY CREEPING LEFT ITS SEED WHILE I WAS SLEEPING
AND THE VISION THAT WAS PLANTED IN MY BRAIN STILL REMAINS
WITHIN THE SOUL OF SILENCE

IN RESTLESS DREAMS I WALKED ALONE NARROW STREETS OF COBBLESTONE
BENEATH 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 ITS WARNING IN THE WORDS THAT IS WAS FORMING
AND THE SIGN SAID THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS ARE WRITTEN ON THE SUBWAY WALLS
AND TENEMENT HALLS
AND WHISPERED IN THE SOUND OF SILENCE
