[Verse 1]
Your mother was crying
Your father passed her a handkerchief
Their tear-stained faces
Looked to mine for a sign of grief
A thousand raincoats
Always stand around too long
But I stayed to talk with you
After they had gone
The flowers I've brought you
Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain
Your name on the card had run
So I tried in vain to write it again
[Chorus]
They didn't understand you, no
They didn't even try
I'm so glad that you left us now
Before you had the chance to die
[Verse 2]
I sat there for a long time
Expecting to turn and see you there
I ran my fingers through the long grass
Willing it to turn into your hair
Your mother was crying
Your father passed her a handkerchief
Their tear-stained faces
Looked to mine for a sign of grief
A thousand raincoats
Always stand around too long
But I stayed to talk with you
After they had gone
The flowers I've brought you
Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain
Your name on the card had run
So I tried in vain to write it again
[Chorus]
They didn't understand you, no
They didn't even try
I'm so glad that you left us now
Before you had the chance to die
[Verse 2]
I sat there for a long time
Expecting to turn and see you there
I ran my fingers through the long grass
Willing it to turn into your hair
