lyrics and song
Recently, I have gotten into listening to quite a bit of Simon and Garfunkel music. Their music holds many dear memories to me. But besides that, they are such true poets, with lyrics that meld into a harmony that touches the inner soul. One of the great things that I find about songs is that it is possible to let the lyrics mean whatever you want or need them to mean to you– within limits (I suppose), you enter into the song, as it enters into you. And behold: a new creation, a new meaning. My favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs are probably:
The Sound of Silence; I Am a Rock; The Boxer; Mrs. Robinson
But what I want to share here are some lyrics that I recently came across and found particularly meaningful from a song called “‘Kathy’s Song”:
And so you see I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is You. And as I watch the drops of rain Weave their weary paths and die I know that I am like the rain There but for the grace of You go I.
