Paul Simon - Armistice Day lyrics
[Paul Simon - Armistice Day lyrics]
On Armistice Day the Philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing will be sad
Shufflin’ brown tunes hanging around
No long-drawn, blown out excuses were made
When I needed a friend, she was there
Just like an easy chair armistice Day
Armistice Day
That’s all I really wanted to say
Oh, I’m weary from waiting in Washington, DC
I’m coming to see my congressman
But he’s avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in Washington, DC
Oh, Congresswoman
Won’t you tell that congressman
I’ve waited such a long time
I’ve about waited all I can
Oh, Congresswoman
Won’t you tell that congressman
But the songs that we sing will be sad
Shufflin’ brown tunes hanging around
No long-drawn, blown out excuses were made
When I needed a friend, she was there
Just like an easy chair armistice Day
Armistice Day
That’s all I really wanted to say
Oh, I’m weary from waiting in Washington, DC
I’m coming to see my congressman
But he’s avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in Washington, DC
Oh, Congresswoman
Won’t you tell that congressman
I’ve waited such a long time
I’ve about waited all I can
Oh, Congresswoman
Won’t you tell that congressman
