Shannon Hoon

Before I had heard
Your poetry of the heart
I never knew such a beautiful art

When I first heard the song 'No Rain'
I knew that you had the right
Feelings to live this life like a bird in flight

When I heard your other words
I knew that it was true
My life would not be complete without words from you

You seemed to step where no-one else dared
You kept it real where no-one else did
But we still find ourselves without you, of your presence rid

I wish I knew your music before you died
I wish I had known you, perhaps I will do soon
Thank you for your music, Shannon Hoon
