Save the Life of My Child

Save the Life of My Child-Simon And Garfunkel

Good God Don't jump

A boy sat on the ledge

An old man who had fainted was revived

(Bizarre)

And everyone agreed it would be a miracle indeed

If the boy survived

"Save the life of my child"

Cried the desperate mother

The woman from the supermarket

Ran to call the cops

"He must be high on somethin' " 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

[incomprehensible]

I want to talk to you

A patrol car passin' by

Halted to a stop

Said officer Mac Dougal in dismay

"The force can't do a decent job

'Cause 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 becomin' of the children

People askin' each other

When darkness fell excitement kissed the crowd

And made them wild

In an atmosphere of freaky holiday

When the spotlight hit the boy

And the crowd began to cheer

He flew away

Oh my Grace

I got no hidin' place

Oh my Grace

I got no hidin' place

Oh my Grace

I got no hidin' place

Oh my Grace

I got no hidin' place

Oh my Grace

I got no hidin' place
