I met my old lover
On the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years

I'm not the kind of man
Who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on
Old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years

Four in the morning
Crapped out
Yawning
Longing my life away
I'll never worry
Why should I?
It's all gonna fade

Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years

One of my favorite Paul Simon songs. Brings back some great memories. Ready to break out in song as I write this.

I've never been much of a Paul Simon fan, but I had this on 7" Vinyl as a B-Sideto "50 ways" (IIRC) so it transports me back to my mid-teens. I had a feeling then that the words would turn out to be prophetic for me, and indeed thay have. This deserves a 10 for association, and that middle break!

BEFORE reading your comment, I just did rate it a ten. I figure I should, if for no other reason that I want this song played at my funeral. It's the last verse that always hooks me.

Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear Ill do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted

Oh, still crazy
Still crazy

This one of Paul's best pieces. It goes into the dark corners of his soul. The melody acts as a disarming counterpoint to the direness resident within.

It strikes me sorta ironic that the song is so mellow and relaxing and then claims what the lyrics say...

Argh! My apologies — it was Michael Brecker.

Sorry, meant to say Michael Brecker. RIP.

I believe the sax solo was by Phil Woods, not David Brecker.

still boring after all these years . . .

The middle section of this song is sublime - Simon's voice on the line "four in the morning", how the strings disassemble into the sax solo... And a fab cover.

One of the few Paul Simon songs that really grabs me. Maybe because it is so sad. I mean, SAD. Overwhelmingly sad, crushingly sad. Damn, it's sad. Did I mention this song is sad? Excellent song.

Love it, Love it Thank you RP for playing this beautiful song!

Always loved this song. I read that Paul Simon played this at the memorial service for Michael Brecker at Town Hall last week. Hearing his sax solo makes the song even more touching to me now.
