Laid the blessings on the ground Softening of sound draws us closed 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 baby? There's nothing I can say, nothing I can do To bring you back again This of life I know is true It's all fallen 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? It may seem unfair Steal the things you ought to borrow Don't you find 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 baby?
