PAUL SIMON lyrics : "born at the right time"

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
