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Of unpublished rhyme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
I Am A RockVer letra 4:23

letra de I Am A Rock
A winter's day

In a deep and dark December

I am alone

Gazing from my window

To the streets below

On a freshly fallen, silent shroud of snow

I am a rock

I am an island

I've built walls

A fortress, steep and mighty

That none may penetrate

I have no need of friendship

Friendship causes pain

Its laughter and its loving I disdain

I am a rock

I am an island

Don't talk of love

Well, I've heard the words before

It's sleeping in my memory

I won't disturb the slumber

Of feelings that have died

If I never loved, I never would have cried

I am a rock

I am an island

I have my books

And my poetry to protect me

I am shielded in my armor

Hiding in my room

Safe within my womb

I touch no one and no one touches me

I am a rock

I am an island

And a rock feels no pain

And an island never cries

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
At The ZooVer letra 1:33

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.
Baby DriverVer letra 2:58

letra de Baby Driver
My daddy was the family bassman

My mamma was an engineer

And I was born one dark gray morn

With music coming in my ears

In my ears

They call me Baby Driver

And once upon a pair of wheels

Hit the road and I'm gone

What's my number?

I wonder how your engines feel

Ba ba ba ba

Scoot down the road

What's my number?

I wonder how your engines feel

Shine the light

My daddy was a prominent frogman

My mamma's in the Naval Reserve

When I was young, I carried a gun

But I never got the chance to serve

I did not serve

They call me Baby Driver

And once upon a pair of wheels

Hit the road and I'm gone

What's my number?

I wonder how your engines feel

Ba ba ba ba

Scoot down the road

What's my number?

I wonder how your engines feel

My daddy got a big promotion

My mama got a raise in pay

There's no-one home, we're all alone

Oh come into my room and play

Yes, we can play

I'm not talking about your pigtails

But I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal

Hit the road and I'm gone

What's my number?

I wonder how your engines

Ba ba ba ba

Scoot down the road

What's my number?

I wonder how your engines feel

letra de Hey, Schoolgirl
Hey, Schoolgirl in the second row

The teacher's lookin' over

So I got to whisper way down low

To say, "Who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop, let's meet

After school at three"

She said, "Hey, babe, but there is one thing more

My school is over at half past four

Maybe when we're older then we can date

O - oh, let's wait!"

Bye Bye LoveVer letra 3:00

letra de Bye Bye Love
[Chorus:]

Bye bye love

Bye bye happiness

Hello loneliness

I think I'm gonna cry

Bye bye love

Bye bye sweet caress

Hello emptiness

I feel like I could die

Bye bye my love, goodbye

There goes my baby

With someone new

She sure looks happy

I sure am blue

She was my baby

Till he stepped in

Goodbye to romance

That might have been

[Chorus]

I'm through with romance

I'm through with love

I'm through with counting

The stars above

And here's the reason

That I'm so free

My loving baby

Is through with me

[Chorus]

Homeward BoundVer letra 5:41

[X]
letra de Homeward Bound
I'm sitting in the railway station.

Got a ticket for my destination.

On a tour of one-night stands

my suitcase and guitar in hand.

And every stop is neatly planned

for a poet and a one-man band.

Homeward bound,

I wish I was homeward bound,

Home where my thought's escaping,

Home where my music's playing,

Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.

Every day's an endless stream

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,

Homeward bound,

I wish I was homeward bound,

Home where my thought's escaping,

Home where my music's playing,

Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.

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 in harmony

I need someone to comfort me.

Homeward bound,

I wish I was homeward bound,

Home where my thought's escaping,

Home where my music's playing,

Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.

Silently for me.
The Sound Of SilenceVer letra 5:02

[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

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 share

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 sounds of silence."

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

letra de The Only Living Boy In New York
Tom, get your plane right on time

I know your part'll go fine

Fly down to Mexico

Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am

The only living boy in New York

I get the news I need on the weather report

Oh, I can gather all the news I need on the weather report

Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile

Da-n-do-da-n-do-da-n-do here I am

The only living boy in New York

Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where

And we don't know where

Here I am

Half of the time we're gone, but we don't know where

And we don't know where

Tom, get your plane right on time

I know that you've been eager to fly now

Hey, let your honesty shine, shine, shine

Da-n-do-da-n-do-da-n-do

Like it shines on me

The only living boy in New York

The only living boy in New York
American TuneVer letra 4:40

[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

Ah but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary thru 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 alright, it's alright, for we live 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

But we come on a ship they called Mayflower

We come on a ship that sailed the moon

We come in the ages' most uncertain hours and sing an American tune

And it's alright, oh it's alright, it's alright, you can't be forever blessed

Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day and I'm trying to get some rest

That's all I'm trying, to get some rest
My Little TownVer letra 4:35

[X]
letra de My Little Town
In my little town

I grew up believing

God keeps his eye on us all

And He used to lean upon me

As I pledged allegiance to the wall

Lord, I recall

My little town

Coming home after school

Flying my bike past the gates

Of the factories

My mom doing the laundry

Hanging our shirts

In the dirty breeze

And after it rains

There's a rainbow

And all of the colors are black

It's not that the colors aren't there

It's just imagination they lack

Everything's the same

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

In my little town

I never meant nothin'

I was just my father's son

Saving my money

Dreaming of glory

Twitching like a finger

On the trigger of a gun

Leaving nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town
Bridge Over Troubled WaterVer letra 6:11

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

All your dreams are on 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
CeciliaVer letra 4:25

letra de Cecilia
Celia, you're breaking my heart

You're shaking my confidence daily

Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees

I'm begging you please to come home

Celia, you're breaking my heart

You're shaking my confidence daily

Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees

I'm begging you please to come home

Come on home

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia

Up in my bedroom (making love)

I got up to wash my face

When I come back to bed

Someone's taken my place

Celia, you're breaking my heart

You're shaking my confidence daily

Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees

I'm begging you please to come home

Jubilation

She loves me again

I fall on the floor and I'm laughing

Jubilation

She loves me again

I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
The BoxerVer letra 5:07

[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 a 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...

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 every glove that laid him down

OR cut him 'til he cried out

In his anger and his shame

"I am leaving, I am leaving"

But the fighter still remains

Lie-la-lie...
Leaves That Are GreenVer letra 3:22

[X]
letra de Leaves That Are Green
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long

Time hurries on

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they whither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

Once my heart was filled with love of a girl

I held her close, but she faded in the night

Like a poem I meant to write

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

I threw a pebble in a brook

And watched the ripples run away

And they never made a sound

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello

Good-bye, Good-bye

Good-bye, Good-bye

That's all there is

And the leaves that are green turn to brown
