WHY DO I

The trees are bronze against the bluest sky
Ravens calling, leaves have fallen
I see winter through bloodshot eyes
Why do I

Time rolls on and on though you may try
You can clock it but you can’t stop it
I’d give anything so it would not fly
Why do I
Why do I cry

I eat well, sleep well, get good loving
And I have a fine home
But I get this feeling
Deep in my bones
I may have just enough to get by
In this life
But could there be more
Waiting outside my door

The answer lies right in front of my eyes
I can’t see it but I can feel it
All I have to do is reach deep down inside
Why do I
Why do I cry
Why do I still cry
