| Simon and Garfunkel – Scarborough Fair/Canticle Lyrics

Disregarding the anti-war verses sung in between, this song is about a man who left his lover in Scarborough Fair. He finds out that someone is going there. Hence, he tries to describe his lover to him, and finds no better way than asking her to do for him impossible tasks that only his true love would try. After reading Boss Man's comment, I would go with what he says, that the girl is a witch, so the way to find her is by asking her to use magic to do impossible tasks. I would like to think that she is not a witch, and that the guy either idealizes her as a goddess, or believes that only his true love would do the impossible for him. |

This song is extremely natural and sincere. I don't know about any of you, but I have had this dream. I bet it is not rare. Everyone is swept away from the world (in any possible or impossible way, be it snow, water, fire, whatever) and you are left alone with your true love. At last, nothing can distract you or her from each other. My dream pretty much stops there, but this song goes on describing the lovers' perfect and purified world, clean of all the mess that left them. Even their memory of the past is gone, which just makes the song sublime. |
