Simon and Garfunkel - LATE IN THE EVENING lyrics

rate me

First thing I remember I was lying in my bed,

Couldn't've been no more than one or two,

And I remember there's a radio,

Coming from the room next door,

While my mother laughed the way some ladies do,

Well, it was late in the evening, and all the music seepin' through.

Next thing I remember, I am walking down the street,

Feelin' all right with my boys and with my troops, yeah,

Down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool and I

Heard the sound of a cappella blues, yeah,

Singing 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 and smoked myself a J,

When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move,

And I turned my amp up loud and 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,

Said, I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do,

Well, I guess I've been in love before

And once or twice been on the floor

But I never loved no one the way that I love you,

And it was late in the evening, and all the music seepin' through.
