Lyrics Born At The Right Time - Live - Paul Simon

Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to

Born at the instant
The church bells chime
The whole world whispering
You 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
The whole world whispering
You born at the right time

Oh, oh, whoah
Whoa, oh-oh
Whoah, yeah, oh

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

But I see them in the airport lounge
Is upon their mother's breast
And 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 my whole world whispering
Born at the right time

You are born at the right time, oh
Born at the right time, whoa, ooh-oh, whoa

Whoa, whoa, ooh-whoa

Too many people on the bus from the airport
There was too many holes in the crust of the earth
The planet groans every time it registers another birth

But down among the reeds and rushes
A baby girl was found
Her eyes as clear as centuries
Her silky hair was brown

(Never been lonely) Whoah, whoah
(Never been lied to) Whoah, whoah
(Never had to scuffle in fear) Whoah, whoah
(Nothing denied to)

Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
You born at the right time

You born at the right time, you are
You born at the right time, well
You born at the right time, whoah-oh, ooh-oh

Born at the instant
The church bells chime
The whole world whispering
You born at the right time, mmh
