Paul Simon - Somewhere They Can't Find Me lyrics

[Verse 1] I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love As she lies here beside me asleep with the night Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight [Chorus] But I've got to creep down the alleyway Fly down the highway Before they come to catch me I'll be gone Somewhere they can't find me [Verse 2] Oh, baby, you don't know what I've done I've committed a crime, I've broken the law While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me I held up and robbed a liquor store [Chorus] But I've got to creep down the alleyway Fly down the highway Before they come to catch me I'll be gone Somewhere they can't find me [Verse 3] Oh, my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion A scene badly written in which I must play And though it puts me up tight to leave you I know it's not right to leave you When morning is just a few hours away [Chorus] But I've got to creep down the alleyway Fly down the highway Before they come to catch me I'll be gone Somewhere they can't find me
