From the recording Waiting for the Rain
Lyrics
Why? words and music by Zerafina Zara
Tearing strips off myself for loving you
Time drags I’ve lost my rhythm, my will to move
Ch
Why? Why’d you leave at the first sign of trouble?
Why? Why’d you leave when I needed you most of all?
V2
Watch my eyes fill with tears, from streets away
My mouth mumbles something
Don’t know what to say
But why? Why?
Ch
Bridge: I’m left with your phantom who offers me nothing, but hollow assertions of long gone fidelity
I’m left with your phantom who offers me nothing, but hollow assertions of long gone fidelity, long gone fidelity
V3
I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine in a week or two
And I’ll never, never ask any more of you
But why? Why?
Chorus
