Strawbs - Why lyrics

rate me

Mirror, mirror, speak the truth<br />

I see my age but not my youth<br />

Pride comes before a fall<br />

The winner's eye is ever small.<br />

<br />

Why<br />

Why<br />

Why<br />

Why.<br />

<br />

I realise it's not too late<br />

... (?) a penny on the plate<br />

... (?) I feel so free<br />

So blind eyes can never see.<br />

<br />

Why<br />

Why<br />

Why<br />

Why.<br />

<br />

I keep on sliding down the wall<br />

Till I can't slide no more at all<br />

I can't climb back, I never could<br />

And I just won't try but I know I should.<br />

<br />

Why<br />

Why<br />

Why<br />

Why.
