Overs (Live)

[Intro: Art Garfunkel]

This is a song that was my favorite song for quite some time

We included it in our last LP, the Bookends album

It's a song about the point in a relationship

When two people realize it's over

And yet neither has any place to go from there

It's called "Overs"

[Verse 1: Paul Simon]

Why don't we stop fooling ourselves?

The game is over, over, over

No good times, no bad times

There's no times at all

Just The New York Times

Sitting on the windowsill

Near the flowers (Mmm)

[Verse 2: Paul Simon]

We might as well be apart

It hardly matters, we sleep separately

Drop a smile passing in the hall

But there's no laughs left

'Cause we laughed 'em all

And we laughed them all

In a very short time

[Bridge: Art Garfunkel]

Time is tapping on my forehead

Hanging from my mirror

Rattling the teacups

And I wonder

[Verse 3: Paul Simon]

How long can I delay?

We're just a habit like saccharin

And I'm habitually feelin' kinda blue

But each time I try on

The thought of leavin' you

I stop

I stop and think it over
