Alex, I'll take "Great Lyrics" for $400... What is, Simon & Garfunkel? So where do I collect my winnings? <GRIN> The song is "America", am I remembering right?

One of my favorite S&G songs is "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her":

What I dream I had:
Pressed in organdy;
Clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy;
Softer than the rain.
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays.
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways,
As I walked on.

And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night.
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight,
I held your hand.
And when I awoke and felt you warm and near,
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears.
Oh I love you, girl.
Oh, I love you.
