Yes, Simon composed it for the show.

Then he gave it to the Rainforest foundation, where Sting is active, you can find the original on the album "Carnival", RCA Victor Copyright 1997.

Good sound quality, good song.

Simon did fewer collaborations than others with other pop-stars, but over the years there were quite a few.

Remakable his singing on "The Blues" with Randy Newman (Newman composer) and "Rambler-Gambler/Whispering-bells" with Joan Baez (Traditional, arranged by Simon).

Normally he likes to work with musicians from other genres, like jazz.

I Love the song!
I remember I heard it some years ago, and liking it. But I never knew how and where I could find it!
So thanks everybody!

For you Machteld, only because you Love Paul´s music :

10 Years (Oprah Winfrey show 10 year anniversary theme)
------Paul Simon

10 Years (Oprah Winfrey show 10 year anniversary theme)


You are moving on a crowded street
Through various shades of people
In the summers harshest heat
A story in your eye
Well, speak until your minds at ease

Ten years come and gone so fast
I might as well be dreaming
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season
A fortune rises to the sky
Ten years come and gone so fast

You are driving down an empty road
Beside a shady river
When the sky turns dark as stone
The trees begin to shiver
The grace of God is nigh

Ten years come and gone
And that flash has never been forgotten
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season
How do the powerless survive
Ten years come and gone so fast

And if you look into your future life
Ten years from this question
Do you imagine a familiar light
Burning in the distance
The love that never died

Ten years come and gone so fast
I might as well be dreaming
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season

Ten years come and gone so fast
Sunny days have burned a path
