Soft Parachutes Lyrics - Paul Simon

Soft parachutes 

Fourth of July 

Villages burning 

Returning 

The bodies all laid in a line 

Like soft parachutes 

Last year as a senior 

In Emerson High school 

I had me a girlfriend 

We used to get high 

Now I am flyin 

Down some Vietnam highway 

Don't ask me the reason 

God only knows why

Soft parachutes 

Fourth of July 

Villages burning 

Returning 

The bodies all laid in a line 

Like soft parachutes
