Lyrics

The Unanswered Why

I woke this morning to find you missing

Present in body but not in spirit

And as we have all found

Spirit is all that counts

Then by the afternoon there was no sign of you

In the corporeal or the memorial

Shaven head, contact lens

Documents torn to shreds

A vapour trail of disgrace

The only thing that remained

How could you calculate a disappearance?

How could you nullify our shared experience?

Just how bad can things be to continuously flee the scene?

What tore its way through your mind?

And then, moreover, why?

I still wait for a reply

To the unanswerеd why
