Duncan - Paul Simon
Couple in the next room
bound to win a prize
they've been going at it
all night long
Well I'm tryin' to get some sleep
but these motel walls are cheap
Lincoln Duncan is my name
and here's my song
here's my song
My father was a fisherman
my mama was a fisherman's friend
and I was born
in the boredom and the chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the Maritimes
headed down the turnpike for
New England
sweet New England

Holes in my confidence
holes in the knees of my jeans
I was left without a penny
in my pocket
Oooowee I was about
as destituted as a kid could be
and I wished I wore a ring
so I could hock it
I'd like to hock it
A young girl in a parkin' lot
was preaching to a crowd
singing sacred songs
and reading from the Bible
Well I told her I was lost
and she told all about the Pentecost
and I seen that girl
as the road to my survival

Just later on the very same night
when I crept to her
tent with a flashlight
and my long years
of innocence ended
well she took me to the woods
sayin' Here comes something
and it feels so good
and just like a dog
I was befriended
I was befriended

Oh oh what a night
oh what a garden of delight
Even now that sweet memory lingers
I was playing my guitar
lyin' underneath the stars
just thankin' the Lord
for my fingers
for my fingers
