作曲：Paul Simon

I'm accustomed to a smooth ride

Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost it's bite

I don't expect to be treated like

A fool no more

I don't expect to sleep through the night

Some people say

"A lie's a lie a lie"

But I say why

"Why deny the obvious child

Why deny the obvious child "

And in rememberin' a road sign

I am rememberin' a girl

When I was young

And we said "These songs are true

These days are ours

These tears are free"

And hey now

The cross is in the ballpark

The cross is in the ballpark

We had a lot of fun

We had a lot of money

We had a little son and we thought

We'd call him Sonny

Sonny gets married and moves away

Sonny has a baby and bills to pay

Sonny gets sunnier

Day by day by day by day

I've been wakin' up at sunrise

I've been followin' the light across

My room

Well I watch the night receive

The room of my day

Some people say

"The sky is just the sky"

But I say

"Why deny the obvious child "

"Why deny the obvious child "

Sonny sits by his window

And he thinks to himself

How it's strange that some rooms

Are like cages

Sonny's yearbook from high school

Is down from the shelf

And he idly thumbs through the pages

Some have died

Some have fled from themselves

Or struggled from here to get there

Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls

He runs his hands through

His thinning brown hair

Well I'm accustomed to a smoother ride

Or maybe I'm a dog that's lost his bite

I don't expect to be treated like

A fool no more

I don't expect to sleep through

The night

Some people say

"A lie's just a lie"

But I say "The cross is in the ballpark

Why deny the obvious child "
