Paul Simon - Duncan слова песни
Words & music by Paul Simon
Couple in the next room
Bound to win a prize
They`ve been goin` at it all night long
Well I`m tryin` to get some sleep
but these motel walls are cheap
Lincoln Duncan is my name
and here`s my song, here`s my song
My father was a fisherman
my mama was a fisherman`s friend
and I was born in the boredom and the chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the maritimes
headed down the turnpike for New England, sweet New England
Holes in my confidence
holes in the knees of my jeans
It`s left without a penny in my pocket
Oo-o wee I`s about as
destituted as a kid could be
And I wish I wore a ring
so I could hock it I`d like to hock it
A young girl in a parking lot
was preaching to a crowd
singin sacred songs and
reading from the bible
Well I told her I was lost
and she told me all about the Pentecost
And I seen that girl as the road to my survi-ival
Just later on the very same night
when I crept to her tent with a flashlight
and my long years of innocence ended
Well she took me to the woods sayin`
"Here comes somethin` and it feels so good!"
And just like a dog I was befriended
I was befriended
Oh, oh, what a night
Oh what a garden of delight
Even now that sweet memory lingers
I was playin` my guitar
lying underneath the stars
Just thankin` the lord for my fingers
for my fingers
