Lyrics

I wait ed till I saw the sun.

I don’t know why I did n’t come.

I left you by the house of fun.

I don’t know why I did n’t come.

I don’t know why I did n’t come.

When I saw the break of day,

I wished that I could fly a way

’stead of kneel ing in the sand

catch ing tear drops in my hand.

My heart is

drenched in

wine,

but you’ll be

on my

mind

for

ev

er.

Out a cross the end less sea,

I would die in ec sta sy.

But I’ll be a bag of bones

driv ing down

the road a lone.

My heart is

drenched in

wine,

but you’ll be

on my

mind

for

ev er.

Some thing has to make you run.

I don’t know why I did n’t come.

I feel as emp ty as a drum.

I don’t know why I did n’t come.

I don’t know why I did n’t come.

I

don’t know why I did n’t come.
