| When I heard that you had gone I couldn’t move or talk, or think for grief
|
| That you should have left us in such a way just wasn’t you
|
| Gave up the ghost of life without a word and didn’t tell anyone
|
| Did you never even have just one close friend you could talk to
|
| We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
|
| We never did know you but we do know you now
|
| That you have gone away, away
|
| You played your rock’n’roll for so long in your own special way
|
| And each and every song you wrote came straight from your heart
|
| You always dreamed of living somewhere in the californian sun
|
| Spent your short life daydreaming of a better reality
|
| We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
|
| We never did know you but we do know you
|
| Now that you have gone away, away
|
| Now that we do know you, we just want to say goodbye to you
|
| Or maybe au revoir until some day some future far away
|
| We all hope, you’re content, at peace now
|
| With your new point of view somewhere out in space
|
| If you found what you were looking for, please, let us know
|
| We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
|
| We never did know you but we do know you
|
| Now that you have gone away
|
| We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
|
| We never did know you but we do know you
|
| Now that you have gone away
|
| We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
|
| We never did know you but we do know you
|
| Now that you have gone away
|
| We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
|
| We never did know you but we do know you
|
| Now that you have gone away
|
| We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
|
| We never did know you but we do know you
|
| Now that you have gone away |
