I Wonder Why

I wonder why You went away You took the spring with you when you said you had packed your bags And will not stay Anymore A common lie One that would safe two souls from strife Two souls in the hard light Your eyes gave away the old shelter that the night has inscribed Your heart's high priced And when I take the time to mourn and I do I see women with their faces wrapped in shades like you Like you So I wonder why You went away And hauled off the features of the land that you unveiled To my young eyes These sorry eyes All night when the tide rolls in And I think of you And my heart falls like the prey I cannot say I cannot lie Oh these feeding fangs won't let go of me And your eyes are sighs And when I take the time to mourn and you know that I do I see women with their faces wrapped in shades like you Just like the way you do Your hands still on the pillows and the lanes The covers and the sheets They memorized your wills Oh god knows they look just like you Just like you do
