Simon And Garfunkel:Save The Life Of My Child

Good God! Don't jump!
The boy sat on the ledge
An old man who had fainted was revived (He's all right)
And everyone agreed t'would a miracle indeed if the boy survived.

'Save the life of my child!' cried the desperate mother.

A woman from the supermarket ran to call the cops
'He must be high on something!' someone said,
Though it never made the New York Times,
in the daily news the caption read,

'Save the life of my child!' cried the desperate mother.

(Hello darkness my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again...)

A patrol car, passing by, halted to a stop,
Said Officer McDougall in dismay,
'The force can't do a decent job
cuz the kid's got no respect for the law today.'
(And blah, blah, blah)

'Save the life of my child!' cried the desperate mother,
Oh what's become of the children?
People asking each other.

When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd and made them wild
In the atmosphere of freaky holiday.
When the spotlight hit the boy, and the crowd began to cheer,
He flew away.

Oh my grace, I've got no hidin' place.

Oh my grace, I've got no hidin' place.

Oh my grace, I've got no hidin' place.

Oh my grace, I've got no hidin' place.

Oh my grace, I've got no hidin' place.
