Well I wish you were here so you could be my baby, rescue me from this heartbreak hotel
Yeah I heard it through the grapevine you were comfortably numb on that highway to hell
Now I'm sittin' here on the dock of the bay watching you and that hound dog sail away

So bye bye miss American Pie, tangled up and blue singing yesterday
Oh and I still haven't found what I was looking for and you're dancing in the streets
And god only knows I'm carrying the weight while my guitar gently weeps
And you can follow the tracks of my tears to this old, lonely broke jukebox
Sittin' here in the sounds of silence after the music stopped

Set 'em up Joe don't you know tonight I'm drinking fire and rain
Well she was born to run down thunder road and now I'm dazed and confused in an old purple haze
Yeah I'd walk the line through the ring of fire if you'd take one more look into these eyes

So bye bye miss American Pie, tangled up and blue singing whiskey lullaby
Oh and I still haven't found what I was looking for and you're dancing in the streets
And god only knows I'm carrying the weight while my guitar gently weeps
And you can follow the tracks of my tears to this old, lonely broke jukebox
Sitting here in the sounds of silence after the music stopped

Well watch me now as I fall to pieces I guess you can't always get what you want
And what a friend I have in Jesus 'cuz there ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Oh and I still haven't found what I was looking for and you're dancing in the streets
And god only knows I'm carrying the weight while my guitar gently weeps
And you can follow the tracks of my tears to this old, lonely broke jukebox
Sittin' here in the sounds of silence after the music stopped

Yeah I'll be sitting here in the sounds of silence after the music stopped
