Amazing song - truly spine-tingling. Like any of Paul Simon's songs it's observational - probably inspired by two old guys he saw sat on a park bench somewhere. However now that they (S&G) have grown older, it seems have more meaning for both them, and us as listeners. On the "Old Friends" tour I went to, they opened with this - I bet they never thought they could be singing a song that now pretty much explains their own relationship...
