Why Lyrics by Strawbs

Preserves Uncanned

0

Mirror, mirror, speak the truth
I see my age but not my youth
Pride comes before a fall
The winner's eye is ever small

Why
Why
Why
Why

I realise it's not too late
[?] a penny on the plate
[?] I feel so free
So blind eyes can never see

Why
Why
Why
Why

I keep on sliding down the wall
Till I can't slide no more at all
I can't climb back, I never could
And I just won't try but I know I should
