Album: The Paul Simon Song Book
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
