Why Lyrics
by Annie Lennox
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'cause i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
In a corner of the morning in
the past
I would sit and blan me the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the prayers were small and yellow
And the rumour spread that I was ageing fast
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping
By a tree.
And I looked and frowned
and the monster was me
Well, I said hello and I said hello
And I asked "Why not?"
and I replied "I don't know"
So we asked a simple black bird,
who was happy as can be
And he laughed insane
and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN"
So I cried for all the others
till the day was nearly through
For I realized that God's a young man too
Except from Bowie's Width of a circle
Doctor:
He seems to be completely unreceptive.
The tests I gave him show no sense at all.
His eyes react to light the dials detect it.
He hears but cannot answer to your call.
Tommy:
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
Doctor:
There is no chance no untried operation.
All hope lies with him and none with me.
Imagine though the shock from isolation.
When he suddenly can hear and speak and see.
Tommy:
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
Doctor:
His eyes can see
his ears can hear, his lips speak
All the time the needles flick and rock.
No machine can give the kind of stimulation,
Needed to remove his inner block.
Go to the mirror boy!
Go to the mirror boy!
Father:
I often wonder what he's feeling.
Has he ever heard a word I've said?
Look at him now in the mirror dreaming
What is happening in his head?
Tommy:
Listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet!
Right behind you I see the millions
On you I see the glory.
> From you I get opinions
> From you I get the story.
Father:
What is happening in his head
Ooooh I wish I knew, I wish I knew.

I'll Be Holding On
I have lived my life my way
For tonight and for today
It's the strongest hearts, they say
Always survive
And I'm fallin' through the years
As each dream disappears
And the night is full of tears
I'll be holding on
Now this life is etched in black
And I won't be looking back
The rain washed away the tracks
I'll never find again
I'm still reachin' for the light
I'm still wearin out the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holding on
CHORUS
When I stand alone
I don't need no memories
All the rest are gone
I'll be holding on
I know how it is
I don't steal no memories
Of all the ones you know
I'll be holding on
And my life is made of sand
It flows right through my hand
Each day I make a stand
And I see it through
I've been reachin' for the light
I've been usin' up the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holding on
When I stand alone
I don't need no memories
Of all the ones you know
I'l be holding on
When I stand alone
I don't need no memories
When all the rest are gone
I'll be holding on
