PAUL SIMON lyrics : "sunday afternoon"

Salvador

The afternoon sunlight


Is folding around us


The dishes are done




The buildings here


Tall as our mountains

Slice through the windows


And cut off the sun




On such days I find


I am longing for Puerto Rico


Though I never would return

'Til you are free





But when I hear the Aguinaldo

My heart's a little lighter


And we dance together Aurea and me




In my life, I've been


Unlucky with two husbands


Gumersindo liked his

Rum and women friends





Then that hypocrite who beat you

And preached about repentance


Has gone and so another Sunday ends




And tomorrow is another


Hard working Monday


I'm still hoping for

The raise they promised me





There's a job as operator

I would not have to wait for


If I could speak the language easily




But I tell Aurea


The barrio's boundaries

Are our own little nation


Sometimes, I hear you run upstairs



And I view my light with resignation


Keep your Bible near you

Time is an ocean of endless tears
