PAUL SIMON - Late in The Evening lyrics

rate me

The first thing I rememberI was lying in my bed

I couldn't've been no more than one or two

And I remember there's a radiocoming from the room next door

My mother laughed the way some ladies' do

Well it's late in the eveningand the music's seeping through

The next thing I rememberI am walking down a street

I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys and with my troopsyeah

Down along the avenue some guys are shootin' pool

And I heard the sound of acapella groupsyeah

Singin' late in the eveningand all the girls out on the stoopsyeah

Then I learned to play some lead guitarI was underage in this funky bar

And I stepped outside to smoke myself a j

When I come back to the roomeverybody just seemed to move

And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play

It was late in the eveningand I blew that room away

First thing I remember when you came into my life

I said I wanna get that girlno 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 eveningand all the music's seeping through
