Lyrics:
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared,
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
Only they would know
Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie la la lie

i am old. I am at the end of my life now..Wow, what a ride. This song just reminds me of how much time has passed and how quickly it goes. If you are young, Im not preaching and your life is yours to live as you choose, but trust me--The days are long but the years are short.

My mother used to play this album when it was nap time :) Everything thats good about me came from her. She lost her battle with cancer when she was only 49 in 2005. Everytime I play this she is right there again. Thank you Mom.

62 years old, still gives me chills in 2023.

In my opinion, one of the greatest songs, of any genre, ever made.

My father passed away last week at age 90. He was a champion amateur boxer and loved this song. He was a boxer and even moreso, a fighter. We played it at his funeral as he is truly "going home."

I’m 16 years old and I can’t stop listening to this I absolutely love this song!!
-
"Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." Ain't that the truth 😂

I used to listen to this song while my father drove me to middle school. We buried him years ago, I think about him every day, and I’m middle aged now. This song reminds me of better times. Once you’re old enough to understand the phrase “you can never go home” it’s too late to do anything about it. God bless you all, do your best.

I am Moroccan from north Africa. I learnt the lyrics of this song by heart in the eighties. It is one of the best songs ever made in history. It reminds me of my youth, my innocence, my family, my old friends. It reminds me of life when it was real and original.

It's cool being a young person and stumbling across stuff like this. It's like music from another dimension
-
67, sick,disabled, and lonely. Those chills are running up my spine and around my chest like a squeeze from the past

My dad was a boxer in the 50's and 60's. He became golden gloves and spared for Rocky Marsiano. I grew up with this song , became a guitar player and insist on playing this song in the song list in every band I was ever in. Been playing this song for 40 years now.

My father was a boxer when in the Marines. He was killed in a accident when my mom was 8 weeks pregnant with me. From what I hear of him he was a huge character and left an impression on everyone he met. Hope I make him smile

One of America's great poets.....Paul Simon has few peers.

I just buried my father who passed away, after being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer 16 years ago. He fought cancer 6 TIMES - and he fought so damn hard. This song gives me comfort and reminds me of his amazing strength. See you on the other side, Dad. ❤ "I am leaving, I am leaving, but the FIGHTER still remains".
-
Just fought the breast cancer battle. I'm here and grateful. I always feel like so many went through so much more. Had double mastectomy and radiation but no chemo. Song definitely picks me up and reminds me of good times
-
That was my mum's favourite song. She passed away two days ago. Rest in peace and thank you for everything! I love you mom, will never forget you 💖

If you cover most of Simons' head, Garfunkel gets a majestic mustache.
-
"In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of ev'ry glove that laid him down Or cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame 'I am leaving, I am leaving' But the fighter still remains" Just one of the great lyrical passages ever.

How many will join me in listening this song in 2024?
