April come she will.


 

These are the lyrics from a song for an April and for a summer. It is only on their ‘Sounds of Silence’ album, which wasn’t their best.

‘The Graduate’ is an amazing film though and captures a particular moment as everything seemed about to change and then didn’t.

The characters are full of hope and promise. We are the unlucky ones because we know what will happen. Which is what this song captures.

 

 

Simon and Garfunkel

April Come She Will.

 

April come she will

When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;

May, she will stay,

Resting in my arms again

 

June, she´ll change her tune,

In restless walks she´ll prowl the night;

July, she will fly

And give no warning to her flight.

 

August, die she must,

The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;

September I´ll remember.

A love once new has now grown old.

 

I got through ‘Fighting February’ and ‘Manic March’, ‘April come she will’ is about right for now.

 

Neil Harris
