Simon and Garfunkel - Save The Life Of My Child

Album:

Get back! Don't jump! The boy sat on the ledge
And an old man who had fainted was revived (He's all right)
Though everyone agreed to it'd be 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 but in the daily news,
A 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.'

Hey patrol car, passing by, halted to a stop,
Said Officer McDougall in dismay,
'The force camp threw a decent job as the kids 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.

The darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd and made them lived(?)
And 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 heart in place.

Oh my grace, I've got no heart in place.

Oh my grace, I've got no heart in place.

Oh my grace, I've got no heart in place.

Oh my grace, I've got no heart in place.
