Don't Know Why Lyrics

[00:29.30] I waited 'til I saw the sun
[00:30.66] I don't know why I didn't come
[00:30.80] I left you by the house of fun
[00:30.99] I don't know why I didn't come
[00:31.16] I don't know why I didn't come
[00:38.58] When I saw the break of day
[00:43.27] I wished that I could fly away
[00:48.22] Instead of kneeling in the sand
[00:53.92] Catching tear-drops in my hand
[00:59.27] My heart is drenched in wine
[01:07.76] But you'll be on my mind forever
[01:17.53]
[01:20.95] Out across the endless sea
[01:27.26] I will die in ecstasy
[01:32.81] But I'll be a bag of bones
[01:37.96] Driving down the road alone
[01:43.98] My heart is drenched in wine
[01:53.26] But you'll be on my mind forever
[02:05.15] Something has to make you run
[02:10.69]
[02:31.53] I don't know why I didn't come
[02:38.44] I feel as empty as a drum
[02:43.40] I don't know why I didn't come
[02:48.68] I don't know why I didn't come
[02:53.14] I don't know why I didn't come
[02:58.15]
