Late In The Evening:Paul Simon.
#6 in 1980.
#1.
The Ffirst thing I remember I was lying in my bed,
I couldn't of been no more than one or Ctwo.
And I reFmember there's a radio comin' from the room next door,
and my mother laughed the way some ladies Cdo,
when it's Glate in the evening and the music's seeping Cthrough.
#2.
The Fnext thing I remember, I am walking down the street,
I'm feeling all right I'm with my boys, I'm with my Ctroops.
And Fdown along the avenue some guys were shooting pool,
and I heard the sound of a cappella Cgroups,
singing Glate in the evening, and all the girls out on the
Cstoops.
#3.
Then I Flearned to play some lead guitar,
I was underage in this funky bar,
and I stepped outside to smoke myself a &Cquot;J".
And Fwhen I come back to the room,
everybody just seemed to move,
and I turned my amp up loud and I began to Cplay,
and it was Glate in the evening and I blew that room aCway.
#4.
The Ffirst thing I remember when you came into my life,
I said, I'm gonna get that girl, no matter what I Cdo.
Well, I Fguess I'd been in love before
and once or twice I been on the floor,
but I never loved no one the way that I loved Cyou.
And it was Glate in the evening, and all the music seeping
Cthrough. (Last line x2.)
