The Side Of A Hill
Paul Simon Song Lyrics

Artist: Paul Simon
Album: The Paul Simon Songbook (1965)

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.
