The Sound Of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its 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 turn 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 shared No one dared 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 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 sound of silence

2April Come She Will

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

Scarborough Fair/Canticle

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 a sparrow on snow-crested ground) Without no seams nor needlework (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 sprinkling of leaves) Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Washes the ground with so many tears) Between the salt water and the sea strand (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun) Then she'll be a true love of mine


3Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions) Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill) And to gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten) Then she'll be a true love of mine

Mrs. Robinson

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

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our filesWe'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.


5God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.Heaven holds a place for those who pray,Hey, hey, heyHey, hey, hey

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

Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson,Jesus loves you more than you will know.God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.Heaven holds a place for those who pray,Hey, hey, heyHey, hey, hey

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.Going to the candidates' debate.Laugh about it, shout about itWhen you've got to chooseEvery way you look at this you lose.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio,Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson.Jolting Joe has left and gone away,Hey, hey, heyHey, hey, hey
