I Don'T Know Why

8/24/15




Oh my
I don't know why
You'd ever let time go by
And refuse to experience things through your own eyes
Eventually yourself and everyone you will come to know dies
No lie
I don't know why

I don't know why
Many look up into the sky with a twinkle in their eye
I guess it's just one of many differences between you and I

I don't know why
It's hardest to see the ones you love the most die
And the same goes for when people keep their hopes high

Homefry
I don't know why
The weather was so strange helping many plants grow fine
Even in areas that were so dry

I don't know why
I still don't know why

But I bid all of the folk bye
After copious amounts of smoke fly
