america

simon and garfunkel in en bilinen şarkılarından biridir.

sözleri şöyledir:

let us be lovers,
we’ll marry our fortunes together.
i’ve got some real estate
here in my bag.

so we bought a pack of cigarettes,
and mrs. wagner’s pies,
and walked off
to look for america.
"kathy", i said,
as we boarded a greyhound in pittsburgh,
michigan seems like a dream to me now.

it took me four days
to hitch-hike from saginaw.
"i’ve come to look for america."

laughing on the bus,
playing games with the faces,
she said the man in the gabardine suit
was a spy.

i said, "be careful,
his bow tie is really a camera."
"toss me a cigarette,
i think there’s one in my raincoat."
we smoked the last one
an hour ago.

so ı looked at the scenery,
she read her magazine;
and the moon rose over an open field.
"kathy, i’m lost", i said,
though i know she was sleeping.
"i’m empty and aching and
i don’t know why."

counting the cars
on the new jersey turnpike
the’ve all come
to look for america,
all come to look for america,
all come to look for america.
