strawbs - why and wherefore lyrics
why
mirror, mirror, speak the truth
i see my age but not my youth
pride comes before a fall
the winner’s eye is ever small.
why
why
why
why.
i realise it’s not too late
… (?) a penny on the plate
… (?) i feel so free
so blind eyes can never see.
why
why
why
why.
i keep on sliding down the wall
till i can’t slide no more at all
i can’t climb back, i never could
and i just won’t try but i know i should.
why
why
why
why.
and
####
wherefore
the king of hearts, he gave me frankincense
the king of clubs, his flask was myrrh
the diamond queen brought back a purse of gold
that i had wanted from her.
the pack lay crushed and broken in her hand
silence slipping slowly by
the king of spades was all that i deserved
and i sat back and and wondered why
and i sat back and and wondered why.
