To Say Thanks

(Album: Wide Eyed - 1998)

Hello, Mr. Darkcloud
Never thought that we would meet so soon
Never thought I'd bundle up in June
Funny how the fog rolls
Funnier that I'd know who to blame
Never thought I'd have to own this pain
If all that's good and true
Comes from heaven
Then what's a girl to do
When it rains?

And I'm saying
Why, why, why, why?
I'm shaking a fist in the dark,
And I'm asking
Why, why, why, why?
Why does it keep getting harder
To say thanks?

Even fields of flowers
Dressing in their best because of You
Knowing they are blessed to be in bloom
But what about November
When the air is cold and wet winds blow
Do they understand why they can't grow?

And I'm saying
Why, why, why, why?
I'm shaking a fist in the dark,
And I'm asking
Why, why, why, why?
Why does it keep getting harder
To say thanks?

And I could not pretend
To know the difference
Between the storms You send
And those I find
And I'm askin

And I'm saying
Why, why, why, why?
I'm shaking a fist in the dark,
And I'm asking
Why, why, why, why?
Why does it keep getting harder
To say thanks?
