Lyrics The Ballad Of Saving Silverman - Neil Diamond

The Ballad Of Saving Silverman

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…
