Lyrics
I read the news,
And I read my bible.
I've studied long
The tales of man
But I've spent days and memories out chasing fallen leaves
Hoping something in the sky will stop the wind
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why I try to stop the wind
Seems our fathers are all world class gamblers,
And our mothers tucked us in to beds of straw
And I got old enough to yell
I faced continental shelfs of lies that can't be untalked
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why I try to stop the wind
Beating mind and steady heart
Feels the rainstorm in the winter
Sees the red light through the stain glass
Everybody knows
Every breeze that blows
Find somewhere to go
Every dog that breathes and wheezes in your face
Every school girl singing songs of amazing grace
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why I try to stop the wind
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why I try to stop the wind
