Wrote it when he was 21 recorded it when he was 22...its a line about time moving on, always made sense to me.:dunno:

That throws up further questions to me though🤣 what was the oiginal lyric before he recorded it? On subsequent live  performances did he adjust it? Thatswithout even contemplating Kirsty McCol's cover version 😣

Holy 💩! How did I miss that!!! 😳 

"Leaves That Are Green" by Simon and Garfunkel, obviously written by Simon as they were.

 

This blew my mind as well. I'm a big Paul Simon fan and picked up the Sounds of Silence album for a couple quid. This particular song is track 2 and I couldn't believe it when I heard it!
