Lyrics for Sunday Afternoon by Paul Simon:
| | | Artist: | Paul Simon |
| | Album: | Songs From The Capeman | | Track: | Sunday Afternoon | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 87 | | | | Lyrics: | ESMERALDA
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.
Mmm. .
