    [X]

    letra de Save The Life Of My Child

    "Good God! Don't Jump!"

    A boy sat on the ledge

    And old man who had fainted was revived

    (He's all right)

    And everyone agreed 'twould be a miracle indeed

    If the boy survived

    "Save the life of my child!"

    Cried the desperate mother



    The woman from the supermarket

    Ran to call the cops

    "He must be high on something, " someone said

    Thought it never made the New York Times

    In the Daily News the caption read

    "Save the life of my child!"

    Cried the desperate mother



    (Hello, darkness, my old friend,

    I've come to talk with you again.)



    A patrol car passing by

    Halted to a stop

    Said officer MacDougal in dismay

    "The force can't do a decent job

    'Cause the kids got no respect

    For the law today" (and blah blah blah)

    "Save the life of my child!"

    Cried the desperate mother

    "Oh, what's becoming of the children?"

    People asking each other



    When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd

    And it made them wild

    In an atmosphere of freaky holiday

    When the spotlight hit the boy

    The crowd began to cheer

    He flew away



    "Oh my Grace, I got no hiding place"

    "Oh my Grace, I got no hiding place"

  3. AmericaVer letra

    [X]

    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's pies

    And walked off

    To look for America

    "Kathy", I said

    As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh

    Michigan seems like a dream to me now



    It took me four days

    To hitch-hike from Saginaw

    "I've come to look for America"



    Laughing on the bus

    Playing games with the faces

    She said the man in the gabardine suit

    Was a spy



    I said, "Be careful

    His bow tie 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

    "Kathy, I'm lost", I said

    Though I knew she was sleeping

    "I'm empty and aching and

    I don't know why"



    Counting 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

  4. OversVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Overs

    Why don't we stop fooling ourselves?

    The game is over, over, over

    No good times, no bad times

    There's no times at all

    Just the New York Times

    Sitting on the windowsill

    Near the flowers



    We might as well be apart

    It hardly matters

    We sleep separately

    And drop a smile passing in the hall

    But there's no laughs left

    ‘Cause we laughed them all

    And we laughed them all

    In a very short time



    Time

    Is tapping on my forehead

    Hanging from my mirror

    Rattling the teacups

    And I wonder



    How long can I delay?

    We're just a habit

    Like saccharine

    And I'm habitually feelin' kinda blue

    But each time I try on

    The thought of leaving you

    I stop…

    I stop and think it over

    letra de Voices Of Old People

    [Art Garfunkel recorded old people in various locations in New York and Los Angeles over a period of several months. These voices were taken from those tapes.]

  6. Old FriendsVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Old Friends

    Old friends

    Old friends

    Sat on their park bench

    Like bookends

    A newspaper blown through the grass

    Falls on the round toes

    On the high shoes

    Of the old friends



    Old friends

    Winter companions

    The old men

    Lost in their overcoats

    Waiting for the sunset

    The sounds of the city

    Sifting through trees

    Settle like dust

    On the shoulders

    Of the old friends



    Can you imagine us

    Years from today

    Sharing a park bench quietly?

    How terribly strange

    To be seventy



    Old friends

    Memory brushes the same years

    Silently sharing the same fear



    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 photograph

    Preserve your memories

    They're all that's left you

  10. Mrs. RobinsonVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Mrs. Robinson

    And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

    Jesus loves you more than you will know, wo wo wo

    God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson

    Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey

    Hey hey hey



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

    We'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, wo wo wo

    God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson

    Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey

    Hey hey hey



    Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes

    Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes

    It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair

    Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids



    Coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson

    Jesus loves you more than you will know, wo wo wo

    God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson

    Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey

    Hey hey hey



    Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon

    Going to the candidates' debate

    Laugh about it, shout about it

    When you've got to choose

    Every way you look at it you lose



    Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

    A nation turns its lonely eyes to you, wo wo wo

    What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson

    'Joltin Joe' has left and gone away, hey hey hey

    Hey hey hey

  11. A Hazy Shade Of WinterVer letra

    [X]

    letra de A Hazy Shade Of Winter

    Time, time, time See what's become of me

    While I looked around for my possibilities

    I was so hard to please

    But look around Leaves are brown

    And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

    Hear the Salvation Army band

    Down by the riverside's

    Bound to be a better ride

    Than what you've got planned

    Carry your cup in your hand

    And look around you

    Leaves are brown, now

    And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

    Hang on to your hopes, my friend

    That's an easy thing to say

    But if your hopes should pass away

    Simply pretend That you can build them again

    Look around

    The grass is high

    The fields are ripe

    It's the springtime of my life

    Seasons change with the scenery

    Weaving time in a tapestry

    Won't you stop and remember me

    At any convenient time?

    Funny how my memory skips

    Looking over manuscripts

    Of unpublished rhyme

    Drinking my vodka and lime

    I look around Leaves are brown

    And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

    Look around Leaves are brown

    There's a patch of snow on the ground

    Look around Leaves are brown

    There's a patch of snow on the ground

  12. At The ZooVer letra

    [X]

    letra de At The Zoo

    Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo.

    I do believe it, I do believe it's true.

    It's a light and tumble journey

    From the East side to the park.

    Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo.

    But you can take the cross-town bus

    If it's raining or it's cold.

    And the animals will love it if you do.



    Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo.

    I do believe it, I do believe it's true.

    The monkeys stand for honesty.

    Giraffes are insincere.

    And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb.

    Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages

    And the zoo keeper is very fond of rum.

    Zebras are reactionaries,

    Antelopes are missionaries.

    Pigeons plot in secrecy

    And hamsters turn on frequently.

    What a gas you got to come and see

    At the zoo.
