Never read much, but she loved to quote
Love is a dead language

All she offered in her parting note
Love is a dead language

I close my eyes and it's all I hear
It rings as hollow as a high school cheer
Who did you plagiarize this time, dear?

Love is a dead language

Outside is a twilight snow
Love is a dead language

Sounds romantic, but I doubt you'd know
Love is a dead language

One soft bullet and the rest is blurred
I claw the sky like a falling bird
You've done your duty
You've spread the word

Love is a dead language
Love is a dead language

Never felt anything she couldn't touch
Love is a dead language

Never came close, 'cause she knew too much
Love is a dead language

So here's to us all who were born too late
And here's to the promise of a life alone
You've blessed us with such comfort in knowing

Love is a dead language
Love is a dead language
