Summary: Paul Simon... Yes!


"I was 21 years when I wrote this song
 I'm 22 now but I won't be for long
 Time hurries on
 And the Leaves that are Green turn to brown
 And they whither in the wind
 And they crumble in your hand...."

This was 1964 or '65.  I have no idea when Bragg wrote his song, but I think 
he would have been a bit young...  Actually maybe not.  Not having heard much
by him I don't really know how old he.
