Born At The Right Time Lyrics by Paul Simon

Born At The Right Time Lyrics

    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
