words by Paul Simon music by JS Bach

Many's the time I've been mistaken
and many times confused
Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused.
But it's all right, it's all right,
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be bright and Bon Vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home.

I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees.
Ah but it's all right, it's all right,
We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on,
I wonder what went wrong, I can't help it

And I dreamed I was dying. I dreamed my soul rose
unexpectedly, and looking back down on me, smiled
reassuringly, and I dreamed I was flying.
And high up above, my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty, sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying.

We come on a ship they call the Mayflower,
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
And sing the American tune
But it's all right, its all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest,
That's all, I'm trying to get some rest.

Paul Simon biography

Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter and musician, perhaps best known for his partnership with Art Garfunkel in the duo Simon & Garfunkel. In 2006, Time magazine called him one of the 100 "people who shape our world."

In a career dating back to the 1950s, Paul Simon established himself among the best and most popular songwriters of the rock era. Growing up in Queens, NY, Simon befriended schoolmate Art Garfunkel, who had an angelic tenor voice, and the two teamed up as Tom & Jerry, taking the names of cartoon characters. In the winter of 1957-1958, they scored a chart hit with "Hey Schoolgirl" - both were 16 years old.

In 1962, Simon reached the charts briefly in the group Tico & the Triumphs with the song "Motorcycle," using the name Jerry Landis.

In 1964, he and Garfunkel teamed up again as a folk duo in Greenwich Village, signed to Columbia Records, and released the album,.....MORE.....(full Paul Simon biography)
