Lyrics for I Shall Not Care

When I am dead And over me bright April Shakes out her rain-drenched hair Though you should lean Above me broken-hearted I shall not care Words that were not said Songs that were not sung Tears that were not shed Deeds that were not done I was not I was I am not I do not care Words that were not said Songs that were not sung Tears that were not shed Deeds that were not done I shall have peace As leafy trees are peaceful When rain bends down the bow And I shall be More silent and cold-hearted Than you are now
