The Reason Why Lyrics - Long Player Late Bloomer - Ron Sexsmith

As all the rooms are full of empties 

The wine attempts to tempt me 

Would you help me disappear? 

And we'll let the path go hungry 

And head at last to country 

Or a small town away from here 

And maybe there we'll finally see 

There is no need to try 

All our lives 

For a reason why 

'Cause when the moon is glowing dimly 

Upon our hopeful chimney 

Trouble simply reappears 

To throw a monkey wrench in 

And hold the world's attention 

With a show of surreal fear 

Hoping for an answer 

I glance up to indifferent skies 

There's no reply 

Or a reason why 

Reason why 

All we would hear 

Is a deafening silence 

Hollywood tears 

In frivolous times 

Oh to be near your love 

You can wonder where the time went 

Or what it was it all meant 

It's been a life spent wondering why 

Looking for a name or 

Coat to pin the blame on 

I'm done sighing for a reason why 

Reason why 

Reason why 

Reason why 

All we would hear 

Is a deafening silence
