I don't know why, I don't know why

I don't know why it takes so long



I cut my hair, I grow it back

First the thought and then the act

To think a plant up towards the sun

It can't be done, it can't be done



I don't know why, I don't know why

I don't know why it takes so long



I see you now, I saw you then

I know you more, and different

I can't contain it, still complain

Love's a weed, trust is rain



I don't know why, I don't know why

I don't know why it takes so long

I don't know why, I don't know why

I don't know why it takes so long



In a moment wings unfurl

A butterfly, a little girl

Star pieces fall to the ground

Streaks of light, just tonight



Sam and Libby, Lib and Sam

Made a little one of them

A baby's born a man to die

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 it takes so long

It takes so long

It takes so long

It takes so long
