Wherefor & Why Lyrics & Tabs by Gordon Lightfoot
Wherefor & Why
guitar chords lyrics
When I woke this morning, something inside of me
Told me, this would be my day
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change
Too many times I'm on my way
Come on sunshine, what can you show me?
Where can you take me to make me understand?
And the wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
And the rain can touch me, can I touch the rain?
And then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky
Like a candy cane delight
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man
I saw the only road in sight
Then I got to thinking what makes you want to go?
To know the wherefore & the why
So many times now, oh Lord I can't remember
Then I got to thinking what makes you want to go?
To know the wherefore & the why
So many times now, oh Lord I can't remember
If it's September or July
Come on sunshine, what can you show me?
Where can you take me to make me understand?
And the wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
And the rain can touch me, can I touch the rain?
Then all at once it came to me and I saw the wherefore
And you can see it if you try
It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love
You'll never know the reason why
Come on sunshine, what can you show me?
Where can you take me to make me understand?
And the wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
And the rain can touch me but can I touch the rain?
So much to lose, so much to gain
