Me And Julio Down By The SchoolyardVer letra

[X]
letra de Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard
The mama pajama rolled out of bed

And she ran to the police station

When the papa found out he, began to shout

And he started the investigation

It's against the law

It was against the law

What mama saw

It was against the law

The 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 put him in the house of detention"

Well, I'm on my way

I don't know where I'm going

I'm on my way

I'm taking my time

But I don't know where

Good-bye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

In a couple of days they come and

Take me away

But the press let the story leak

And when the radical priest

Come to get me released

We was all on the cover of Newsweek

And I'm on my way

I don't know where I'm going

I'm on my way

I'm taking my time

But I don't know where

Good-bye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard
Homeward BoundVer letra

letra de Homeward Bound
I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination

On a tour of one-night-stands, my suitcase and guitar at hand

And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band

[Chorus:]

Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound

Home, where my thoughts escape, at home, where my music's playin'

Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

Every day's an endless dream of cigarettes and magazines

And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

[Chorus]

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 and harmony, I need someone to comfort me

[Chorus repeats 2x]

Silently for me
American TuneVer letra

[X]
letra de American Tune
Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confused

Yes, and I've often felt forsaken

And certainly misused

But I'm all right, I'm all right

I'm just weary to 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 all right, it's all right

For we've lived 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

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hour

and sing an American tune

But it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest

That's all, I'm trying to get some rest
El Condor Pasa (If I Could)Ver letra

[X]
letra de El Condor Pasa (If I Could)
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 could,

I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone.

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 could,

I surely would.
DuncanVer letra

letra de Duncan
Couple in the next room

Bound to win a prize

They've been going at it all night long

Well, I'm trying to get some sleep

But these motel walls are cheap

Lincoln Duncan is my name

And here's my song, here's my song.

My father was a fisherman

My mama was the fisherman's friend

And I was born in the boredom

And the chowder

So when I reached my prime

I left my home in the Maritimes

Headed down the turnpike for

New England, sweet New England

Holes In my confidence

Holes In the knees of my jeans

I was left without a penny in my pocket

Oo-we I was about destituted

As a kid could be

And I wished I wore a ring

So I could hock it, I'd like to hock it.

A young girl in a parking lot

Was preaching to a crowd

Singing sacred songs and reading

From the Bible

Well, I told her I was lost

And she told me all about the Pentecost

And I seen that girl as the road

To my survival

Just later on the very same night

When I crept to her tent with a flashlight

And my long years of innocence ended

Well, she took me to the woods

Saying here comes something and it feels so good

And just like a dog I was befriended, I was befriended.

Oh, oh, what a night

Oh what a garden of delight

Even now that sweet memory lingers

I was playing my guitar

Lying underneath the stars

Just thanking the Lord

For my fingers,

For my fingers
The BoxerVer letra

[X]
letra de The Boxer
I am just a poor boy

Though my story's 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

When I left my home

And my family

I was no more than a boy

In the company of strangers

In the quiet of the 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

Lie-la-lie...

Now the years are rolling by me

They are rockin' evenly

I am older than I once was

And younger than I'll be

But that's not unusual

No it isn't strange

After changes upon changes

We are more or less the same

After changes

We are more or less the same

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 ev'ry 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...
Mother And Child ReunionVer letra

letra de Mother And Child Reunion
No I would not give you false hope

On this strange and mournful day

But the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine

I can't for the life of me

Remember a sadder day

I know they say let it be

But it just don't work out that way

And the course of a lifetime runs

Over and over again

No I would not give you false hope

On this strange and mournful day

But the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine

I just can't believe It's so

Though it seems strange to say

I never been laid so low

In such a mysterious way

And the course of a lifetime runs

Over and over again

But I would not give you false hope

On this strange and mournful day

When the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away

Oh the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away

Oh the mother and child reunion

Is only a moment away
The Sound Of SilenceVer letra

[X]
letra de 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 streetlamp, I 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 shared, and no one dared

To stir the sound of silence

Fool, said I, you do not know, silence, like a cancer, grows

Hear my words and I might teach you, take my arms then 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'd made

And the sign flashed 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
Jesus Is The Answer
Bridge Over Troubled WaterVer letra

[X]
letra de Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you're weary, feelin' small

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all

I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough, and friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water, I will 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 will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl, sail on by

Your time has come to shine, and all your dreams will run their way

See how they shine, oh, if you need a friend, I'm 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
Loves Me Like A RockVer letra

[X]
letra de Loves Me Like A Rock
When I was a little boy

And the Devil would call my name

I'd say "now who do ...

Who do you think you're fooling?"

I'm a consecrated boy

Singer in a Sunday choir

My mama loves, she loves me

She gets down on her knees and hugs me

She loves me like a rock

She rocks me like the rock of ages

And she loves me

When I was grown to be a man

And the Devil would call my name

I'd say "now who do . ..

Who do you think you're fooling?"

I'm a consummated man

I can snatch a little purity

My mama loves me, she loves me

She gets down on her knees and hugs me

She loves me like a rock

She rocks me like the rock of ages

And she loves me

If I was President

And the Congress call my name

I'd say "who do ...

Who do you think you're fooling?"

I've got the Presidential Seal

I'm up on the Presidential Podium

My mama loves me

She loves me

She gets down on her knees and hugs me

And she loves me like a rock

She rocks me like the rock of ages

And she loves me

She loves me, loves me, loves me, loves me

letra de America
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

Cathy, I said, as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburg

Michigan seems like a dream to me now

It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw

And I've come to look for America

Laughin' on the bus, playing games with the faces

She said the man in the gaberdine 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

Cathy, I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping

I'm empty and I'm aching and I don't know why

Countin' the cars on the New Jersey turnpike

They've all come to look for America, all come to look for America

[Instrumental break]

Countin' the cars on the New Jersey turnpike

They've all come to look for America, all come to look for America

All come to look for America
