The Side Of A Hill Lyrics - 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
