PAUL SIMON - The Side of a Hill lyrics

rate me

On the side of a hill

In a land called somewhere

A little boy lays asleep in the earth

While down in the valley a cruel war rages

And people forget what a childs life is worth

On the side of a hill a little cloud weeps

And waters the grave with its silent tears

While a soldier cleans and polishes a gun

That ended a life at the age of seven years

And the war rages on in a land called somewhere

And Generals order their men to kill

And to fight for a cause theyve long ago forgotten

While a little cloud weeps on the side of a hill
