  • 作词 : Paul Simon
    作曲 : Paul Simon

    The last train is nearly due
    The underground is closing soon
    And in the dark deserted station
    Restless in anticipation
    A man waits in the shadows

    His restless eyes leap and scratch
    At all that they can touch or catch
    And hidden deep within his pocket
    Safe within it's silent socket

    He holds a colored crayon

    Now from the tunnel's stony womb
    The carriage rides to meet the groom
    And opens wide and welcome doors
    But he hesitates then withdraws
    Deeper in the shadows

    And the train is gone suddenly

    On wheels clicking silently

    Like a gently tapping litany

    And he holds his crayon rosary
    Tighter in his hand

    Now from his pocket quick he flashes
    The crayon on the wall he slashes
    Deep upon the advertising
    A single worded poem comprised
    Of four letters

    And his heart is laughing screaming pounding
    The poem across the tracks rebounding
    Shadowed by the exit light
    His legs take their ascending flight
    To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night
