Tom, catch your plane ride on time
I know you're part will go fine
Fly down to Mexico
Dot-n-do-do
And here I am
The only living boy in New York
I get the news I need
On the weather report
I can gather news I need
On the weather report
Hey I've got nothing to do today
But smile
And here I am
The only living boy in New York
Half of the time we're gone
But we don't know where
And we don't know where
Ah...Here I am
Half of the time we're gone
But we don't know where
And we don't know where
Tom, catch your plane ride on time
I know that you've been eager to fly now
Hey let your honesty shine shine shine now
Dot-n-do-do-do
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York
The only living boy in New York
Ah... Here I am
Ah... Here I am
(note: "Tom" is a reference to Garfunkel, an old nickname
from the days when S&G were known by Tom and Jerry.
Simon wrote this song when Garfunkel was in Mexico for his
role in the movie Catch 22.)Sat in the kitchen with an asthma cigarette, out the window with an inch of regret…it's a grey world…
Sold all the gear that he had in the shed, gave him a hard time so he up and quit, it's a gray world….
And the old van is tired and slow….it wouldn't go…
Down at the quarry to have a swim, I took off my shirt but you won't go in…it's a grey world….
Later at the fire with a marshmallow stick, you ware embarrassed because she was so thin…it's a gray world…
And the old van is tired and slow…it wouldn't go…
