Don't Ask Me Why

Verse 1

Sunday morning paper on the stair

Nobody's home and I don't care

I've got a picture of a day I missed

A telephone that never rings

Pre-Chorus

And if you wonder where I've been

Oh don't ask me why

Chorus

Don't ask me why the well runs dry

Don't ask me why the birds all fly away

I only know the way the wind has turned

And the sun it doesn't stay

Verse 2

I wore my coat through April showers

Counted every lonely hour

I wrote your name on every page

Then I tore them up in June

Pre-Chorus

And if you ask me what went wrong

Oh don't ask me why

Chorus

Don't ask me why the well runs dry

Don't ask me why the birds all fly away

I only know the way the wind has turned

And the sun it doesn't stay

Bridge

I could tell a hundred stories

Twist them till they sounded true

But the mirror on the hallway

Shows a stranger looking through

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Don't ask me why the well runs dry

Don't ask me why the birds all fly away

I only know the way the wind has turned

And the sun it doesn't stay

Outro

Mm-mm-mm

Don't ask me why

Don't ask me why

(Oh don't ask me why)

Mm-mm-mm

(Don't ask me why)
