though the lands be dry and desolate
while the river rages high
i'm standing by the way side
wondering WHY...WHY...WHY.
my heart is heavy laden
an emprisoned soul am i
and when my night time slumber leaves
i wake and wonder WHY.
the sound of laughter lingers
even after the crowd is gone
i wander through the park way
hearing that same old song
each night, i hit the rewind
replaying images of you and i
no longer do i pace the floor
but still...i wonder WHY
while the river rages high
i'm standing by the way side
wondering WHY...WHY...WHY.
my heart is heavy laden
an emprisoned soul am i
and when my night time slumber leaves
i wake and wonder WHY.
the sound of laughter lingers
even after the crowd is gone
i wander through the park way
hearing that same old song
each night, i hit the rewind
replaying images of you and i
no longer do i pace the floor
but still...i wonder WHY
