Paul Simon - The Side of a Hill Lyrics

Lyrics The Side of a Hill - Paul Simon



On the side of a hill in a land called ′Somewhere'
A little boy lies asleep in the earth
While down in the valley a cruel war rages
And people forget what a child′s 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 the land called 'Somewhere'
And generals order their men to kill
And to fight for a cause they′ve long ago forgotten
While the little cloud weeps on the side of a hill
