Someone Died - Emitt Rhodes

Someone in my family has died

My mother, she cries as my father, he comes to tell me

«Someone in our family has died»

He says to me in a voice soft and shaking like a baby

Just yesterday she was here, now she’s gone

It does not seem like it’s real, something’s wrong

She’s gone, she’s gone

I can still see her face as I left

When I saw her this morning, things were bright and fresh

It was a new day

I can still hear the last thing that she said

Now everyone’s mourning her death

Now that she’s passed away

Just yesterday she was here, now she’s gone

It does not seem like it’s real, something’s wrong

She’s gone, she’s gone

I can still hear the last thing that she said

«A bird with a broken wing never soars so high again»
