If it’s too confusing just pretend the parentheses aren’t there. ( ) ( ) Verse 1: ( ) Laid our blessings on the ground ( ) The softening of sound ( ) ( ) Draws us closed again ( ) Stay, stay and watch the coals ( ) till they cease to glow ( ) ( ) like empty promises CHORUS: Why, Why did you go, why did you go away? Why, Why did you go, why did you go away? Baby? VERSE 2: (Remember Verse 1’s parentheses) There's nothing I can say Nothing I can do To bring you back again This of life I know is true It's all a falling through and so I reach for you CHORUS: Why, Why did you go, why did you go away? Why, Why did you go, why did you go away? BRIDGE: Don't you care That it may seem unfair? You steal things you ought to borrow Don't you find That it may seem unkind? I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow FINAL CHORUS: Why, Why did you go, why did you go away? Why, Why did you go, why did you go away? Baby? (Finish on )
