(Paul Simon)
|
Down among the reeds and rushes
|
A baby boy was found
|
His eyes as clear as centuries
|
His silky hair was brown
|
|
Never been lonely
|
Never been lied to
|
Never had to scuffle in fear
|
Nothing denied to
|
Born at the instant
|
The church bells chime
|
And the whole world whispering
|
Born at the right time
|
|
Me and my buddies we are travelling people
|
We like to go down to restaurant row
|
Spend those Euro-dollars
|
All the way from Washington to Tokyo
|
I see them in the airport lounge
|
Upon their mother's breast
|
They follow me with open eyes
|
Their uninvited guest
|
|
Never been lonely
|
Never been lied to
|
Never had to scuffle in fear
|
Nothing denied to
|
Born at the instant
|
The church bells chime
|
And the whole world whispering
|
Born at the right time
|
|
Too many people on the bus from the airport
|
Too many holes in the crust of the earth
|
The planet groans
|
Every time it registers another birth
|
|
But among the reeds and rushes
|
A baby girl was found
|
Her eyes as clear as centuries
|
Her silky hair was brown
|
|
Never been lonely
|
Never been lied to
|
Never had to scuffle in fear
|
Nothing denied to
|
Born at the instant
|
The church bells chime
|
And the whole world whispering
|
Born at the right time
|
