A Poem On The Underground Wall Lyrics - Simon And Garfunkel

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 

Hidden deep within his pocket 

Safe within his silent socket 

He holds a coloured crayon

Now, from the tunnel's stony womb 

The carriage rides to meet the groom 

And opens wide in 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 quickly flashes 

The crayon on the wall he slashes 

Deep upon the advertising 

A single-worded poem comprised of 

Four letters 

Photos 

And his heart is laughin', screamin', poundin' 

The poem across the tracks reboundin' 

Shadowed by the exit light 

His legs take their ascending flight 

To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night
