A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And woe my nights are so long

Additional quotes by Paul Simon

And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared No one dared Disturb the sound of silence.

Maybe the heart is part of the mist. And that's all that there is or could ever exist. Maybe and maybe and maybe some more. Maybe's the exit that I'm looking for.

How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river
When the flood water pours from the mouth? How can you be a Christian?
How can you be a Jew?
How can you be a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu? How can you?

A man walks down the street He says why am I short of attention Got a short little span of attention And woe my nights are so long - Paul Simon
