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
