Here the wayside meets the road   Have to carry half the load   Down the back roads with you go   All the letters that you wrote      Now it's gone   How can you ever say why   Now it's gone   How can you ever say why      I've been walking all night long   You've been sleeping prayers and songs   When you're wanted by the sun   You will get a kick from dawn      Now you know   How can you ever say why   Now you know   How can you ever say why      I'm alone now in your room   Drawing plans for after noon   Don't you want to go outside   Take a walk or take a ride      Now it's gone   How can you ever say why   Now it's gone   How can you ever say why      Now it's gone   How can you ever say why   Now it's gone   How can you ever say why      Leave your troubles, leave your fears   We'll get back to those next year   Will you choose or change your mind   Take a walk or take a ride      Now I'm   Happy you never say why   Now I'm   Happy you never say why
