Simon and Garfunkel
Bridge Over Troubled Water
The Sound of Silence
El Condor Pasa
Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll 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 silvergirl,
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.
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
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
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
And 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 signs said: The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
El Condor Pasa
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.
CHORUS
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man grows older every day
It gives the world
Its saddest sound,
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.
CHORUS
