Lyrics
REASONS
Words and music by Theresa Demarest
I don't seem to know all the reasons why
Time has lost me now
Reasons don't explain themselves sometimes
You might think that I didn't know myself
They say that I'm a fool
Cause love has caught me in her spell
I only think of you
CHORUS: So, Hold me in a whisper, soft and ever warm
I can not take the aching, the breaking, the storm
There was a time when I would have thought to give
everything I own
To paupers and the men of the road
who never found a home
But it seems that now I'm all turned around
Things are not the same
The paupers are all richer now
I guess I've changed (CHORUS)
Can you tell to me all the secrets,
I seem to not have known
Life has come apart for me,
I do not have a home (CHORUS)
