Silence killed a mockingbird
With no one left to hear
With not one eye set on her
She ceases to sing
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
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Feathers floating on downstream,
On the screaming rush of tide
And if silence killed a mockingbird
There's no body left to hide
Oh, how I miss her warble now
That gentle lifting swell
No, she only sings her requiem
In the silence that she dwells
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
My heart cries for her colours
And those dark all-seeing 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
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Sing
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
Sing a requiem
