Lyrics
Tell Me Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sailing hardships through
Broken harbors
Out on the waves
In the night
Still the searcher must
Ride the dark horse
Racing alone
In his fright
Tell me why
Tell me why
Is it hard to make arrangements
With yourself
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell?
Tell me lies later
Come and see me
I'll be around
For a while
I am lonely but
You can free me
All in the way
That you smile
Tell me why
Tell me why
Is it hard to make arrangements
With yourself
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell?
