Simon & Garfunkel - Old Friends


 
   

From my personal favorite concert in Central Park, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing Old Friends. The vocals are just amazing.Someone requested the lyrics, so here they are:OLD FRIENDS LYRICS:Old friends,Old friendsSat on their park benchLike bookends.A newspaper blown though the grassFalls on the round toesOf the high shoesOf the old friends.Old friends,Winter companions,The old menLost in their overcoats,Waiting for the sunset.The sounds of the city,Sifting through trees,Settle like dustOn the shouldersOf the old friends.Can you imagine usYears from today,Sharing a park bench quietly?How terribly strangeTo be seventy.Old friends,Memory brushes the same yearsSilently sharing the same fearsBOOKENDS LYRICS: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 photographPreserve your memories, theyre all thats left you59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG (FEELIN' GROOVY) LYRICS:Slow down, you move too fast.You got to make the morning last.Just kicking down the cobble stones.Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy.Hello lamp-post,What cha knowin'?I've come to watch your flowers growin'.Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?Doot-in' doo-doo,Feelin' groovy.I've 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.

Listen to "I Am a Rock," you'll identify. It's about the narrator's attempts to shield himself from the pain of life. The final lyric is, ". . .and a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries." Then I cry, listening.

And how old was Simon when he wrote this? "I was 21 years when I wrote this song. . .I'm 22 now, but I won't be for long. . ." Amazingly perceptive for one so young.

The Sheep Meadow. I was there. I was a freshman at NYU, grew up listening to Mom's S&G albums. It was perfect.

Im with you on this one. Who woulda thunk it? When I was 16 I could not even imagine being alive in 2 years, much less 40+. Sometimes those times seem more real than now. So full of wonder and playful cynicism, and discovery.
