Why
Music & lyrics © 2012 Johnny Tanner. All rights reserved.
Well, the wind she blows north and south
And the oceans fall and then rise
Old Man Time, he's got us all on the clock
And the wild goose, she just flies
The wild goose, she just flies.
Don't know why, it ain't so easy to see
No, I don't know why, ain't life a mystery.
One day she tells me she loves me
The next day she'll say she don't
She's lost somewhere between the shelter she needs
And the freedom she wants
It's the freedom that she wants.
Don't know why, it ain't so easy to see
No, I don't know why, ain't life a mystery.
When I was a child, Momma taught me how to pray
Sometimes I forget the tune
Ain't no answers hangin' from the stars
Ain't no man in the moon
No, there ain't no man in the moon.
Don't know why, it ain't so easy to see
No, I don't know why, ain't life a mystery.
Well, the wind she blows east and west
The oceans fall and then rise
Old Man Time, he's got us all on the clock
And the wild goose, she just flies
Wish I knew why the wild goose flies.
Wish I knew
Wish I knew why the wild goose flies.
