Laid our blessings on the ground
The softening of sound
Draws us close again

Stay, stay and watch the coals
Till they cease to glow
Like empty promises

Why? Why did you go?
Why did you go away?
Why? Why did you go?
Why did you go away, babe?

There's nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
Bring you back again

This of life I know is true
It's all a falling through
And so I reach for you

Why? Why did you go?
Why did you go away?
Why? Why did you go?
Why did you go away?
Don't you care
That it may seem unfair?
You steal things you ought to borrow
Don't you find
That it may seem unkind?
I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow

Why? Why did you go?
Why did you go away?
Why? Why did you go?
Why did you go away, babe?
