When I was five, that's when you died My mother told me I'd never see you again All I remember Is that I didn't ant her to see me To see me crying So I said: don't worry mama You're still young and so beautiful You'll find someone to love And to cherish you I'll never forget how she looked Laying in her bed With thousands of people outside Singing Give Peace a Chance I would do anything for One conversation with you Even to walk down the street with you Would be so cool Seems like the whole world Had more time with you than I did But the dead don't speak, they listen I was alone almost every day Felt like my mother was always away All that I knew of you is what people told me Though I remember the scar on your chin And the sound of your voice every time That you said good night And your favourite TV show was Jekyll and Hyde And that you played the piano Well, now so do I Every note that I play goes up to the sky I would do anything for One conversation with you Even to walk down the street with you Would be so cool Seems like the whole world Had more time with you than I did But the dead don't speak they listen The dead don't speak they listen
