I can remember when I wrote this
Even though it was some time ago
I was lying in bed
Alone in my head
When that song came on the radio
I’d heard it many times before, of course
As it played through my headphones
But this time was different
As my tears fell quicker, and
I felt it in my bones
‘Silence Like A Cancer Grows…’
Back here alone
In this room again
With the darkness
My old friend
Praying for someone
My wounds to tend
Ever hopeful
This pain will end

One of my favourites. A thoroughly niserable album, though.

Well that probably says something about us both. Some of my favourite songsa are on that album. I discovered it about age thirteen, which is way too young for that shit.

Oh, it definitely says something about us both for sure! 😁
I was tad luckier than you I guess. I had an easy intro to Paul Simon as a kid with Call Me Al. Then I worked back the way via Cecilia, Mrs Robinson and Scarborough Fair with Simon & Garfunkel until I got to Sounds of Silence in my early twenties 👍🖤
