Tell Me Why
Tell Me Why

Emerging from great height
There you stood your hands held out bright
To plant the seeds of love
With shoulders broad and strong
But clouds were gathering
To cover up the lies I buy
Dark clouds converged around

Tell me why
With eyes too blue to be true
You caught my eye and then you tried to
Tell me why
You loved enough to lift us high
Both you and I

Fast fall your years of youth
Thereby you stood always misunderstood
Now like a father would
You lifted me so high
Broad shoulders carried me you promised me
You'd do be everything
The fatal lie
Tell me why
With eyes too blue to be true
You caught my eye and then you tried to
Tell me why
You loved enough to lift us high
Both you and I

You promised me the sky, why, why

Tell me why
With eyes too blue to be true
You caught my eye and then you tried to
Tell me why
You loved enough to lift us high
Both you and I
