Paul Simon - Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. 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 And her hair, in a fine mist Floats on my pillow Reflecting the glow Of the winter moonlight [Verse 2] She is soft, she is warm But my heart remains heavy And I watch as her breasts Gently rise, gently fall For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving And tonight will be All I have left to recall [Verse 3] Oh, what have I done? Why have I done it? I've committed a crime Broken the law For twenty-five dollars And pieces of silver I held up and robbed A hard liquor store [Verse 4] My life seems unreal My crime an illusion A scene badly written In which I must play Yet I know as I gaze At my young love beside me The morning is just a few hours away
