The Side Of A Hill

The Side of a Hill - Paul Simon

Lyrics by：Paul Frederic Simon

Composed by：Paul Frederic 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 it's 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
