I've come to talk with you again”

(1964) <br class="br">Context: Hello darkness, my old friend<br>I've come to talk with you again<br>Because a vision softly creeping<br>Left its seeds while I was sleeping<br>And the vision that was planted in my brain<br>Still remains<br>Within the sound of silence.

“I have my books and my poetry to protect me”

“You want to be a writer, don't know how or when? Find a quiet place, use a humble pen.”

And I my robert frost.
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what weve lost.”

“All I've got to do today is smile.”

Variant: I've got nothing to do today but smile.

“We note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.”

“Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes”

“Some people never say those words "I love you".
It's not their style to be so bold.
Some people never say those words "I love you".
But like a child, they're longing to be told.”

Something So Right
Song lyrics, There Goes Rhymin' Simon (1973)

“She said, 'Don't I know you from the cinematographer's party?'
I said, 'Who am I to blow against the wind?”

I Know What I Know
Song lyrics, Graceland (1986)

“The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover.”

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
Song lyrics, Still Crazy After All These Years (1975)

“In my little town
I grew up believing
God keeps his eye on us all.”

My Little Town, written with Simon Garfunkle
Song lyrics, Still Crazy After All These Years (1975)

“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 we walked off to look for America”

America
Song lyrics, Bookends (1968)

“Locked in a struggle for the right combination
Of words in a melody line,
I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination.
Golden clouds were shuffling the sunshine.”

Everything About It Is a Love Song
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)

“Take me. I'm an ordinary player in the key of C.
And my will was broken by my pride and my vanity.
Who's gonna love you when you're looks are gone?
God will. Like he waters the flowers on your window sill.”

Outrageous
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)

“A man walks down the street
It’s a street in a strange world
Maybe it’s the third world
Maybe it’s his first time around …
He looks around around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen and Hallelujah.”

You Can Call Me Al
Song lyrics, Graceland (1986)

“Moves like a fist through traffic,
Anger and no-one can kill it,
Shoves a little bump to the momentum,
It's just a little lump but you feel it
In the creases and the shadows,
With a rattling deep emotion.
The cool, cool river
Sweeps the wild, wide ocean.”

The Cool, Cool River
Song lyrics, The Rhythm of the Saints (1990)

“I'm going to Graceland, Graceland,
Memphis, Tennessee,
Well, I'm going to Graceland.
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,
And my travelling companion is nine years old,
He is the child of my first marriage,
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received in Graceland.”

Graceland
Song lyrics, Graceland (1986)

“It's outrageous to line your pockets off the misery of the poor.
Outrageous, the crimes some human beings must endure.
It's a blessing to wash your face in the summer solstice rain.
It's outrageous a man like me stand here and complain.
But I'm tired.”

Outrageous
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)

“There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations…”

You Can Call Me Al
Song lyrics, Graceland (1986)

“The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar,
I am following the river down the highway
Through the cradle of the Civil War.”

Graceland
Song lyrics, Graceland (1986)
