Somewhere They Can't Find Me
by Paul Simon
(c) 1966 Paul Simon (BMI)

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 flow of the winter moonlight.

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.

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.

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.

Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
A scene badly written in which I must play.
And though it puts me uptight to leave you,
I know it's not right to leave you,
When morning is just a few hours away.

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.
