You Taught Me

Most of all I wanna say to you
After all the struggle we’ve been through
You taught me how to love again, Lily
You taught me how to love again, Lily
I watched a young man die today
I took a short cut through the People’s Park
I saw his friends, they were knocking on the toilet door
The broke the lock and they dragged him out
And they slapped him in the face
After a while I heard them whisper «beyond rescue»
The peace and quiet, the «now he’s gone»
The silent moment
It could have been you
It could have been me
It could have been anyone
If I was going down today
If I was going six feet under
There are some things I’d like to say to you
Before I do
I would like to wear my purple skirt
I would like to lay beside my grandpa
If I was going down today
But most of all I wanna say to you
After all the struggle we’ve been through
You taught me how to love again, Lily
And I hope that I taught you how to love again, Lily
But most of all I wanna say to you
After all the struggle we’ve been through
You taught me how to love again, Lily
And I hope that I taught you how to love again, Lily
