Songtext Late in the evening Simon & Garfunkel

Late in the evening

The first thing I remember I was lying in my bed
I couldn't have been no more than one or two
I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed the way some ladies do
Well, it's late in the evening and all the music's seeping through

The next thing I remember I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right, I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
And down along the avenue some guys were shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of a cappella groups, 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 to smoke myself a J
And when I came back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
And it was late in the evening, and I blew that room away

The first thing I remember when you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
Well, I guess 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 you
And it was late in the evening and all the music's seeping through

The first thing I remember when you came into my life
I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
Well, I guess 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 you
And it was late in the evening and all the music's seeping through
