Tom Lyrics by Upside (Folk)

Tin Can Stories

2020

[Verse 1]
Remember when the days were young and all that Tom ever said
Was, "Hi I’m Tom and I feel fine"
But now it seems that all he does is dwelling day after day
The world is now a witness of the holes he has inside

[Chorus]
Why? Oh why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Oh why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Why? Why does Tom cry?

[Verse 2]
The only place in town where everyone would stop by and sing
Was Tom’s, of course, everybody knew
Today his door will only open to his wine and his shrink
Today the melodies he used to sing are out of tune

[Chorus]
Why? Oh why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Oh why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Why? Why does Tom cry?

[Verse 3]
The time has passed my dearest Tom, and see nothing has changed
It’s just new kids running around
The rich get richer, times get harder, and no justice is claimed
I guess we’ll go on 'till we drown

[Chorus]
Why? Oh why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Oh why? Why does Tom cry?
Why? Why? Why does Tom cry?
Why does Tom cry?
Why does Tom cry?
