Overs is the 4th track from Simon & Garfunkel’s 1968 album, Bookends. The song describes a relationship seemingly flattened by time, becoming shallow and void of previous excitement. Paul and Art sing about how the end of the relationship is coming eventually, even though the narrator keeps dela...

[Outro: Paul Simon]

Stop and think it over
Overs was written by Paul Simon.
Overs was produced by John Simon.
Simon & Garfunkel released Overs on Wed Apr 03 1968.
