paul simon - late in the evening lyrics

(paul simon)
the first thing i remember
i was lying in my bed
i couldn't of 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
when it's late in the evening
and 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 seeping through
