INTRODUCTION:

(00:23) Introduction to "Don't Know Why"


VERSE ONE:

(01:25) I waited till I saw the sun

(02:25) I don't know why I didn't come

(03:34) I left you by the house of fun


VERSE TWO:

(04:37) When I saw the break of day

(05:06) I wished that I could fly away

(05:37) Instead of kneeling in the sand

(06:21) Catching teardrops in my hand


CHORUS:

(06:50) My heart is drenched in wine

(08:01) But you'll be on my mind forever


VERSE THREE:

(08:31) Out across the endless sea

(09:21) I would die in ecstasy

(09:53) But I'll be a bag of bones

(10:43) Driving down the road alone


VERSE FOUR:

(11:28) Somethin' has to make you run

(12:20) I feel as empty as a drum


FINAL THOUGHTS:
