I love that song! Paul Simon is such a wonderful lyricist. One of the best in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing.
Here are some more good lyrics from Ben Gibbard, the writer and lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie. Like Paul Simon, I get the feeling that he really has struggled with depression. Both understand darkness.
I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in
