Save The Life Of My Child
Simon And Garfunkel · Other Songs - Simon And Garfunkel
And an old man who had fainted was revived (He's all right)
Though everyone agreed 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 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.
The darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd and made them wild(?)
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 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.

The recording captures the duo's signature harmonies and introspective songwriting, hallmarks that defined their most celebrated era. While often overshadowed by massive hits like 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' or 'The Boxer,' this track offers a distinct glimpse into their collaborative dynamic. The song reflects the emotional depth and melodic sophistication characteristic of their work during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It remains a testament to their ability to craft intimate narratives within a broader pop framework, appealing to listeners who appreciate the nuanced textures of their vocal interplay and acoustic arrangements.
