Simon's Musical Legacy
“Hello darkness, my old friend”
Your song fills my head again
I can’t escape Paul Simon
Words lift me like a sermon
I travel with him to Graceland
Years are “slip-sliding away”
Years pass, he says we’re crazy
Wasted youth; I was lazy
We rise to “Kodachrome” hues
As Paul sings of joy and blues
Gave me “50 ways to leave”
A false man who tried to deceive
“Sounds of Silence” fill my day
Till Simon’s songs come my way
To touch my heart, restore hope
Through troubled times, I can cope
“Bridge over Troubled Water”
Help your sister and brother
*Entry for Michael’s “What Songwriters Inspire You” contest
