Wherefore and Why
Gordon Lightfoot
|(000232) _(022000)_ |__ | When I awoke_ this mor_-ning_ something in-side of me_ told me this_ would be my_ day_ I heard_ the mor_-ning train_ I felt_ the wind_ change_ Too many_ times_ I'm on_ my way__ Come on_ sun_-shine_ what can you show-ow_ me_ Where can you ta-ake me_ to make me un_-derstand_ The wind_ can shake_ me_ brothers for_-sa-ake me_ The rain can tou-oucch_ me_ but can I_ touch the rain___ -a-a-ain_ |__ | And then I saw_ the sun_-rise_ above a cotton_ sky_ like a can_ -dy cane_ delight_ I saw_ the milk_-man_ I saw_ the bus'ness man_ I saw_ the on_-ly road_ i-in_ sight_ Then I_ got_ to thinking_ what makes you want_ to go_ to know_ the wherefore and the why_ So many_ times_ now_ oh lord I can't_ remem_-ber_ if it's September or July_ Come on_ sun_-shine_ what can you show-ow_ me_ Where can you ta-ake me_ to make me un_-derstand_ The wind_ can shake_ me_ brothers for_-sa-ake me_ The rain can tou-oucch_ me_ but can I_ touch the rain___ -a-a-ain_ |__ |__ |__ |__ |__ | Then all_ at once_ it came_ to me_ I saw_ the wherefore_ and you can_ see_ it if_ you try_ It's in_ the sun_ above_ it's in_ the one_ you love_ you'll never_ know_ the reason_ why_ Come on_ sun_-shine_ what can you show-ow_ me_ Where can you ta-ake me_ to make me un_-derstand_ The wind_ can shake_ me_ brothers for_-sa-ake me_ The rain can tou-oucch_ me_ but can I_ touch the rain__ So much to lose__ so much to gain__ __ |__ |__ |__
