So many friends have gone.
Without a trace they left.
I looked back, I was alone.
Just another farewell.
My tired bones need a home.
Maybe I'd find the way,
If just I could remember
Where do I come from.
I asked the dusty road
Where was she taking me.
Oh, everywhere, she said
But for going back home
So, I asked the copper bell
Resting on the tower,
For how many good friends
She sang her sad g'bye.
I need to know. I need to know why.
Only God, yes, God knows.
This is the land
Of eternal Fall
At least Winter
Hides a hope
So, I asked the greasy earth
Of the graveyard
Where do dreams fade away
When a dreamers dies.
So, I asked the white rabbit
Running across the field
How a minute can change
Even a worthless life.
Destiny's sweet voice
Like a final lullaby
Softly sang on the shores
Of a long life.
I need to know. I know to know why.
Only God, yes, God knows.
I cannot stand another good bye.
But God knows, God knows why.
