Artist: Gordon Lightfoot Album: N/A (0000) Title: Wherefore & Why
Lyrics Wherefore & WhyWhen I woke this mornin', something inside of me Told me this would be my day I heard the mornin' train, I felt the wind change Too many times I'm on my way
Come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain
Then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky Like a candy cane delight I saw the milkman, I saw the business man I saw the only road in sight
Then I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go To know the wherefore and the why So many times now, oh Lord, I can't remember If it's September or July
Come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore And you can see it if you try It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love You'll never know the reason why
Come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain So much to lose, so much to gain |
