Simon & Garfunkel - Somewhere They Can't Find Me Lyrics






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 glow of the winter moonlight.

But I've got to creep down the alley way,
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 alley way,
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 thought it puts me up tight 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 alley way,
Fly down the highway,
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
Somewhere they can't find me.

Simon & Garfunkel Somewhere They Can't Find Me Comments
  1. M.... r....

    WTF Is this? I've needed heard this, very surreal with the lyrics omg I just cannot get over this.

    At first I thought this was some crazy amazing edit or a cover that was reworked.

    Either way, I love it. It's Amazing!!!

  2. g.... k....

    Green Day Hitchin Ride sounds reaaaaally familiar

  3. D.... ....

    I love the leitmotif to Anji at the beginning. Reminds me of how Strawberry Fields Forever is referenced in Glass Onion

  4. a.... p....

    BASS ARE SIMILAR HIT THE ROAD JACK

  5. H.... W....

    This is one bad song I'm a black female love this song it should be be in the history books of rock roll

  6. S.... L....

    This couldn't be more perfect,,, for the day

  7. N.... E....

    Is this S&G's worst song?

  8. C.... C....

    Hearing this song without Anji afterwards is like hearing Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage" without being immediately followed by "Eclipse".

  9. S.... 2....

    "It is not those who can inflict the most, but those that can suffer the most who will conquer."

  10. J.... A....

    I hear rock n roll

  11. c.... k....

    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 alley way,
    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 alley way,
    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 thought it puts me up tight 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 alley way,
    Fly down the highway,
    Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
    Somewhere they can't find me.

  12. p.... ....

    Paul, Paul, Paul.........

  13. P.... C....

    I've heard too.

  14. M.... ....

    The guitar in the beginning sounds like Anji

  15. G.... P....

    Same intro as anji

    G.... P....

    Griffin Pilcher Wow! You must be the first person to notice that.

  16. J.... F....

    Amazing artist Paul Simon is, but likely with permission, note for note a Bert Jansch guitar lick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqjUWJtH88c

  17. p.... ....

    move on, chameleon

  18. G.... D....

    I still prefer Wednesday Morning 3 AM

  19. G.... B....

    Some Beatles vibe here !

    G.... B....

    I noticed that too!

  20. j.... ....

    very similar to Wednesday morning 3 AM.  Even a lot of the lyrics are the same but a more upbeat melody.  But I love it anyway.

    j.... ....

    It is the same song done in a different tone....

  21. D.... S....

    Um yeah, one of the early best of S&G <3

  22. m.... S....

    it's like "Wednesday Morning, 3am" is set just after he robbed the store, and the character is just laying there trying to decide if it really happened; then enter "Somewhere they can't find me": when the dude panics and starts to pack up to run, trying to explain what's going on.

  23. m.... j....

    didn't rob a liquor store but ended up stealing a dress

  24. C.... E....

    My childhood was in the 90s. my grandma would bump this song on the car radio while she drove me to school. I used to think this was the Beatles lol.

    C.... E....

    Cortney Erinn me too, first time i Heard that i thought iT is from rolling stones

    C.... E....

    @Historyczne Reja no offense but how does this sound like The Rolling Stones

  25. S.... N....

    i really love this song...

  26. B.... G....

    I still can't picture Paul robbing a liquor store. Maybe removing a tag from a mattress, but that's it. 8)

    B.... G....

    I can't picture either of them doing that, to be honest... XD

    B.... G....

    I can imagine them robbing fools for black tar

    B.... G....

    I can't picture either of them doing that, though I can somehow picture them doing it together. xD

    B.... G....

    First time hearing this, I love it.

    B.... G....

    ... with Art standin' behind him, like the muscle, y'know...? I can see it...

  27. B.... G....

    I still can't picture Paul jackin' up a liquor store.

    B.... G....

    It was art Garfunkel for sure..look at that album cover, it was art

  28. K.... H....

    Loved this song since I was 8 years old!

  29. D.... ?....

    Well I think it sounds like it

  30. D.... ?....

    Yea it's called hit the road jack

  31. h.... ....

    i cant find me whoever that is

  32. G.... L....

    this one takes you somewhere they can't find me....

  33. N.... ....

    I looooooooooove

  34. h.... ....

    Would it sound strange to say that the first time I heard this song was in a Soviet film made back in the 1960s?

    h.... ....

    Wouldn't surprise me :)

    h.... ....

    @SiliconBong Capitalist idiot.

  35. G.... S....

    Song rocks people!!! But guess what, theres more to it. Look up Wednesday morning 3 a.m.  by Simon and Garfunkel, its the same story. Still good song.

  36. G.... M....

    I love this song. I bought this LP when it first came out. It's a wonder I didn't wear it out I played it so much. Great to be able to listen to all these old favourites on YouTube.

  37. E.... ....

    Had only heard Wednesday Morning 3AM until I clicked on this, interesting..

    E.... ....

    Eoin I like how it's almost like the opposite of Wednesday Morning 3AM. Almost as if in that, he accepts what he did, but in this he tries to hide and get away.

  38. C.... G....

    I've heard the bassline before. I think a band after them might have had a similar bassline or either someone sampled it. Can anyone help me?

    C.... G....

    Davey graham - Angi

    C.... G....

    Very common chord progression. Very similar to, for instance, Hit The Road Jack.

    C.... G....

    Most likely by them in 1963 under another title Wednesday morning at 3 am

    C.... G....

    This was the main bassline used in their cover of Angie. Not to mention this kind of bassline is commonplace in older music.

    C.... G....

    elvis rocha yeah ill agree 😊

  39. J.... A....

    It has the same lyrics as Wednesday morning, 3 A.M.!

  40. P.... K....

    p-cackk!!

  41. B.... L....

    It's hard to find music like this nowadays. Great song.

  42. n.... w....

    Please listen to the song;
    New York Boogie the writers.
    Thanks.

  43. d.... q....

    "wednesday morning 3 am" lyrics and "anji" melody... AWESOME!

    Fabulous song, and lyrics....the use of modulation this way tells about composers with big C.... F Major to D......suspension not easy, but here at ease.......

  48. K.... L....

    This song is awesome!!

  49. J.... ....

    No 1 driving song.

  50. P.... K....
