Emitt Rhodes Someone Died Lyrics

Someone Died

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"
