WHY EVEN TRY
Paroles anglaises: A. Clayre, 1969

Our two hearts are the same

They could turn out untrue

We don't want to feel pain

Yet maybe I love you

Why even try to go away

Why even try to hide away

I've got nothing to share

Just this world my eyes see

But if it's pain that fear

Pain lets no-one go free

Why even try to steal away

Why even try to run away

Or to stay in your ivory tower

Grow in peace like some secret flower

Alone - alone

When the pain is a little less

We forget there's no happiness

Alone - alone

Share the stars in the sky

For they're all I can give

Share these tears we must cry

If we love, if we live

Why even try to stay alone

Why even try to live alone

Share the stars in the sky

For they're all I can give

Share these tears we must cry

If we love, if we live

Why even try to stay alone

Why even try to live alone

Alone
