But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.

-- Paul Simon

All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

-- Paul Simon

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

-- Paul Simon

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, runnin' scared.
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters,
Where the ragged people go.
Lookin' for the places, only they would know.
-- Paul Simon

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

-- Paul Simon

But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.
-- Paul Simon

This is the story of how we begin to remember...

-- Paul Simon

And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all o-yeah
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry
Don't cry.

-- Paul Simon

Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
Sonny's yearbook from high school
Is down from the shelf
And he idly thumbs through the pages
Some have died
Some have fled from themselves
Or struggled from here to get there
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair.

-- Paul Simon

I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I say
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?

-- Paul Simon

I know what I know
I’ll sing what I said
We come and we go
That’s a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

-- Paul Simon
