Late In The Evening - Paul Simon
The first thing I remember I was lying in my bed
I couldn't've been no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio coming from the room next door
My mother laughed the way some ladies' do
Well it's late in the evening and the music's seeping through
The next thing I remember I am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys and with my troops yeah
Down along the avenue some guys are shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of acapella groups yeah
Singin' late in the evening and all the girls out on the stoops yeah
Then I learned to play some lead guitar I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a j
When I come back to the room everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
It was late in the evening and I blew that room away
First thing I remember when you came into my life
I said I wanna get that girl no matter what I do
Well I guess I've been in love before and once or twice have been on the floor
But I've never loved no-one the way that I love you
And it was late in the evening and all the music's seeping through
