THE REASONS WHY

(M. Alchin – 1982 - © Reasonable Songs)

It’s only pride that stops you doing anything

Meanwhile your time is passing by

They never rest until they cover everything

And when you’re covered you are dry

They tell you, once is not enough

But twice is too much

They tell you anything but they don’t tell you the reasons why

There was a time when everything seemed so unclear

I never thought that it would change

You’ve always said the things I said I want to hear

I never thought that it was strange

They tell you, once is not enough

But twice is too much

They tell you anything but they don’t tell you the reasons why

The reasons why

The reasons

They won’t tell you the reasons

The reasons why

You wish you’d had another chance, you wish you’d taken more

Somebody told you you were meant to now you’ve only got a while

The only time you made a move they made you move away

I know it’s getting harder every single day

They tell you, once is not enough

But twice is too much

They tell you anything but they don’t tell you the reasons

They tell you anything but they don’t tell you the reasons

They tell you anything but they won’t tell you the reasons why

The reasons why

The reasons why

The reasons

The reasons why
