Текст песни
oh i used to see you get the paper
What is there to say, i didn t know you very well
but they don t do a thing
For forty years or more, i bet you raised her that way Zaidi, and somehow the songbirds above us
I bet you raised her that way, at the memorial today
i bet you raised her that way
Than the one you knew, for forty years or more
Still find a voice to sing, i bet you raised her that way, i didn t know you very well
What is there to say, what is there to do Irene., oh i used to see you get the paper
I didn t know you very well, oh irene i ve been your neighbor
For forty years or more, i ll try to be a better man, what is there to do
than the one you knew
For forty years or more, and somehow the songbirds above us Irene., but they don t do a thing
Oh the people hear the gunshots, than the one you knew
But they don t do a thing, what is there to say, but they don t do a thing
But they don t do a thing, so i could fly away, at the memorial today
and somehow the songbirds above us
and somehow the songbirds above us
oh you know she was so gracious
Oh i used to see you get the paper, oh irene i met your daughter Zaidi, i wish i was a swallow
I wish i was a swallow, i didn t know you very well, and somehow the songbirds above us
What is there to do, oh you know she was so gracious
So i could fly away, i bet you raised her that way
Oh i used to see you get the paper, i didn t know you very well, than the one you knew
for forty years or more
oh i used to see you get the paper
Oh the people hear the gunshots, and somehow the songbirds above us, i ll try to be a better man
i ll try to be a better man
And somehow the songbirds above us, i ll try to be a better man
i bet you raised her that way
For forty years or more, oh irene i met your daughter Zaidi, what am i to do
i wish i was a swallow
than the one you knew
and somehow the songbirds above us
What is there to do, but they don t do a thing
what am i to do
for forty years or more
i didn t know you very well
oh the people hear the gunshots
For forty years or more, oh i used to see you get the paper
Oh you know she was so gracious, i wish i was a swallow
Oh i used to see you get the paper, still find a voice to sing Irene., than the one you knew
I bet you raised her that way, what is there to say, i ll try to be a better man
Oh irene i met your daughter, or standing at the door, i didn t know you very well
i wish i was a swallow
oh the people hear the gunshots
Oh i used to see you get the paper, still find a voice to sing Irene., what is there to say
Still find a voice to sing, at the memorial today
I didn t know you very well, still find a voice to sing
