[Verse 1] And I've been going on and on and on and on, non-stop And this day you come across my eyes It's raining on some winter that we never lived through And your cold has found its way into my own And I'm the one to tell you why [Chorus] Will you come closer to my eyes Would you tell them why it's been around And when they're done, they're gone, and the silence passes through And sounds my weary mind — I'm true I'm the one to tell you how [Bridge] Will you just rise and tell me why Will you just stand up in a while And when it's time to hear it, I will open up my mouth And say the half of it, and let the rest go down I'm the one to tell you why I'm the one to tell you why [Outro] [falsetto] Can you, oh, forgive me, oh, can you, oh, forgive me Can you, oh, forgive me, can you, oh, forgive me [baritone] Can you hold the terror as it comes and goes into your soul I'm the one to tell you why I'm the one to tell you why
