You Taught Me

You Taught Me

Words: L.Lindquist

Music: L.Lindquist

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

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

They 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
