She's Given Up Talking

(альбом: Driving Rain - 2001)

She's given up talking, don't say a word
Even in the classroom, not a dickie bird
Unlike other children, she's seen and never heard
She's given up talking, don't say a word

You see her in the playground standing on her own
Everybody wonders why she's all alone
Someone made her angry, someone's got her scared
She's given up talking, don't say a word

But when she comes home, it's yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely like the water from a tap
Her brothers and her sisters can't get a word in edgeways
But when she's back at school again, she goes into a daze

But when she comes home, it's yap-a-yap-yap

But when she's back at school again, she goes into a daze

She's given up talking, don't say a word
Even in the classroom, not a dickie bird
Unlike other children, she's seen and never heard
She's given up talking, don't say a word

She's given up talking
She don't say a word
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
