The Ballad Of Saving Silverman - Neil Diamond

Singin' you the ballad of Silverman, yeah

He’s alive, he’s arrived, he’s in love with a girl named Judith

Judith, what do you think?

Have a seat, she’s a shrink

Now, Judith’s out to destroy our friend

She’s a mixed up girl, so why pretend?

Just wanting her, would mean the end of him

So, we’re out 'Saving Silverman'

And taking it as far as we can

There’s just no way we’re giving in

Gotta save that man

If we can

Now, Silverman, he really loves Sandy, yeah

She returned, having learned, he’s in love

And he really loves Sandy

Sandy, what do you think?

Have a seat, have a drink

Now Sandy’s right if you know what I mean

Judith’s right as some bad dream

And somehow we have to get between all three

So, we’re out 'Saving Silverman'

And taking it as far as we can

There’s just no way we’re giving in

Only need a plan

Just need a plan

Come on now

Let’s go find that man

He’s in deep trouble

What kind of trouble?

If you know what I mean

It’s the worst kind of trouble you can find

Oh my

Shall we continue?

Let’s

In breaking that spell she was holding him with

The task was to ask for the help of his favorite

Writer, singer, who do you think?

Have a seat, got a drink

So they asked this friend if he’d sing his song

And it didn’t take much and it didn’t take long

And believe it or not, it all worked out ok

'Cause, while we were 'Saving Silverman'

Fate walked through that door

And what we got by saving him

Was a whole lot more

Yeah, while we were 'Saving Silverman'

We all found something else

And on the way to saving him

We saved ourselves

We saved ourselves

Yeah, while we were 'Saving Silverman'

We all found something else

Yes on the way to saving him

We saved ourselves…
