I waited till I saw the sun

I dont know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

I dont know why I didn't come

I dont know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

instead of kneeling in the sand

catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

forever

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy

But I'll be a bag of bones

driving down the road alone

my heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

forever

Something has to make you run

I dont know whyI didn't come

I feel as empty as a drum

I dont know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come
