I've come to talk with you again. Because a vision softly creeping. Let 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 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 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 on dare Distutb 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 silence raindrop 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 wisper'd in The Sound Of Silence 　2.　 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. 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 comvort you. I'll take your part. When darkness comes And pain is all around, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silvergirl, Sail on by You time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way. See how the shine. If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind. 　3. 　Always On My Mind Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have If I made you feel second-best, giel, I'm sorry I was lying You were always on my mind And maybe I didin't hold you all those lonely, lonely times I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine Little things I should have said and done, I just never took the time You were always on my mind Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied I'll keep you satisfied Little things I should have said and done, I just never took the time You were always on my mind, You were always on my mind, You were always on my mind, You were always on my mind 　4.　 Moon River　 Moon river Wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin' I'm goin' your way Two drifters Off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waitin' round the bend My Huckleberry friend Moon river, and me 　5.　 Mr. Lonely Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely I have nobody, for my own Now I'm so lonely I'm Mr. Lonely Wish I have someone To call on the phone Now I'm a soldier A lonely soldier Away from home Through no wish of my own That's why I'm lonely I'm Mr. Lonely I wish that I could go back home Letters, never a letter I get no letters in the mail I've been forgotten Yeah! Forgotten Oh how I wonder, how is it I failed 　6.　 Greenfields　 Once there were green fields Kissed by the sun Once there were valleys Where rivers used to run Once there were blue skies With white clouds high above Once they were part of An everlasting love We were the lovers who strolled through green fields Green fields are gone now Parched by the sun Gone form the valleys Where rivers used to run Gone with the cold wind That swept into my heart Gone with the lovers Who left their dreams depart Where are the green fields That we used to roam ? I'll never know what Make you run away How can I keep searching When dark clouds hide the day I only know there's Nothing here for me Nothing in this wide world Left for me to see But I'll keep on waiting Till you return I'll keep on waiting Until the day you learn You can't be happy While your heart's on the roam You can't be happy Until you bring it home Home to the green fields And me once again 　7.　 The Green Leaves Of Summer A time to be reaping A time to be sowing The green leaves of Summer Are calling me home 'T was so good to be young then in the season of plenty When the catfish were jumping As high as the sky A time just for planting A time just for plowing A time to be counting A girl of your own 'T was so good to be young then To be close to the earth And to stand by your wife At the moment of birth A time to be reaping A time to be sowing A time just for living A place for to die 'T was so good to be young then To be close to the earth Now the green leaves of summer Are calling me home 　　page top　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　「心愉しい詩歌」　へ戻る　　　　　　　　　　to : Vol.3
