Sunday Afternoon Lyrics - Paul Simon

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 

Photos 

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
