Requiem

[Verse 1]

Silence killed a mockingbird

With no one left to hear

With not one eye set on her

She ceases to sing

And if a tree falls and no one's there to hear it

Does it truly make a sound?

Won't you cup your hands beneath it?

As she tumbles to the ground

[Chorus]

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

[Verse 2]

Feathers floating on downstream

On the screaming rush of tide

And if silence killed a mockingbird

There's no body left to hide

Ooh, how I miss her warble now

That gentle lifting swell

Now she only sings her requiem

In the silence that she dwells

[Chorus]

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

[Verse 3]

My heart cries for her colour

And those dark all-seein' eyes

And if silence killed a mockingbird

There's no morning surprise

And the clouds gather confused

Now she never writes the signs

But the planes go on unfazed

And burn the sky with their lines

[Chorus]

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

[Chorus]

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem

Sing

A requiem
