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

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
