simon quotes

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Scarborough Fair/Canticle"

Jubilation,
She loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I laughing.

- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Cecilia"

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.

He was singin' on his knees
An angry mob trailed along
They shot my brother dead
Because he hated what was wrong

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.

- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "A Hazy Shade Of Winter"

Oh, what have I done,
Why have I done it,
I've committed a crime,
I've broken the law.
For twenty-five dollars
And pieces of silver,
I held up and robbed
A hard liquor store.

- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M."

My life seems unreal,
My crime an illusion,
A scene badly written
In which I must play.
Yet I know as I gaze
At my young love beside me,
The morning is just a few hours away.

- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M."

Now I know you're not
the only starfish in the sea.
If I never hear your name again
it's all the same to me.

- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Red Rubber Ball"

I'd rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.

- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "El Condor Pasa"

The roller coaster ride we took is
nearly at an end.
I bought my ticket with my tears,
that's all I'm gonna spend.

- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Red Rubber Ball"
