I Couldn T Explain Why Lyrics - The Rainwater Lp - Citizen Cope

In a couple of hours 

The morning is coming 

And I'm hittin' the door runnin, 

The gasoline is burning 

And I couldn't explain why 

The message that I have been given 

Could have us drown 

In the river 

Still I gotta deliver it 

And I couldn't explain why 

I hold a couple of grudges 

Could have had a couple of touches 

If I hadn't had a couple of crutches 

And I couldn't explain why 

The world keeps turning 

The sun keeps burning 

For all to learn what 

Heavens only knows 

Why do some 

Get taken too young 

All these answers 

That heaven only knows 

The wheels are turning 

Churching all types of emotion 

Strong as the oceans 

And I couldn't explain why 

This message that I have been given 

Could have me drown by the river 

Still I gotta deliver it 

And I couldn't explain why 

I hold a couple of grudges 

Could have had a couple of touches 

If I hadn't had a couple on crutches 

And I couldn't explain why
