Album: Driving Rain

She Given Up Talking

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

You see her in the playground, standing on her own
Everybody wonders why she's all alone

Someone's got her angry, someone's got her scared
She's given up talking won't say a word

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

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

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