Rest in peace
Disappeared with the wind before your time was upSo much you didn't get to see and didn't get to do
Now, I see what you had to go through
Would have fought your battles if I could
You left you mark on the block
Now, you rest where roses grow
Every Thursday, I stand here
By your grave, I shed another tear (May you rest in peace)
We miss you in our neighborhood
I wonder if you've found peace wherever you are (May you rest in peace)
May you rest in peace (x8)
Bled for the block, but you were abandoned
You said they weren't friends, that was true
But it strikes me one cold September night
The month I was born and you disappeared
Explain: how can the world turn
When all the good people die young (May you rest in peace)
Every Thursday, I stand here
By your grave, I shed another tear (May you rest in peace)
We miss you in our neighborhood
I wonder if you've found peace wherever you are (May you rest in peace)
How can the sun still shine? (The sun still shine?)
How can the birds still sing? (How can the birds still sing?)
In the crowd, I stand all alone (I stand all alone)
Starting over, where do I begin
When you're gone?
Every Thursday, I stand here
By your grave, I shed another tear (May you rest in peace)
We miss you in our neighborhood
I wonder if you've found peace wherever you are (May you rest in peace)
May you rest in peace (x8)
