Whats in parentheses is whats actually being played, but leaving it out sounds
too. If its too confusing just pretend the parentheses arent there.
( ) ( )
( )
Laid our blessings on the ground
( )
The softening of sound
( ) ( )
Draws us closed again
( )
Stay, stay and watch the coals
( )
till they cease to glow
( ) ( )
like empty promises
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Baby?
(Remember Verse 1s parentheses)
There's nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
To bring you back again
This of life I know is true
It's all a falling through
and so I reach for you
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Don't you care
That it may seem unfair?
You steal things you ought to borrow
Don't you find
That it may seem unkind?
I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow
FINAL CHORUS:
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Baby?
(Finish on )
