No one told me

No one told me you'd died
I carried on thinking
about you long after
you went to the earth

No one told me you'd died
so I still thought
about nights out that were
still to come

No one told me you'd died
so I still thought one day
I'd get in touch

No one told me you'd died
I was about to call you
but now I'll never hear your voice again

No one told me you'd died
I thought I'd run into you
soon for a few drinks

No one told me you'd died
maybe they didn't have the time

No one told me you'd died
I guess they didn't think to
tell me

No one told me you'd died
maybe we weren't so close
anymore

No one told me you'd died
until I heard your name
dropped into a conversation

And I knew

I'm sorry I didn't phone
No one told me you'd died

I miss you.
