Sad

why
lets ask why
whats the problem, sugar?
oh my sweet
what's got you down?
grain by grain your joy
is trickling down the waterfall
dissolving into inertia
into everything

lets ask why
my bird, whats wrong?
your feathers are ruffled in discontent
you're free and your laugh is song
but whats wrong?
whats wrong?

lets ask why
my feelings are yours
my heart hurts and my eyes weep
my soul, my dear, my life
i haven't heard a peep
from your heart
from your lips

lets ask why
i feel so slow, so sad
i feel like i'm crying out with my mind
can you hear me my sweet?
can you hear me my love?
my dove?
can you hear me?

lets ask why
where are you
these tears are hot and fresh on my cheeks
my heart aches from misery
is it something from your history?
my darling
lets ask why
