"I Don't Know" lyrics - GRAHAM PARKER

I don't know what's behind that veil
I ask questions to no avail
I don't know why there's empty shelves
Empty books and silent bells

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

I don't know why it's not enough
To feel moments of mighty love
I can't think why I'm not fulfilled
I don't know why my heart is chilled

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

I don't know why I'm all alone
Fingers stuck to a telephone
Photographs of you and me
I don't know these people I see

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

Balls bouncing down deserted streets
Shadows boxing on empty seats
I don't know why it's not enough
To feel moments of mighty love

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
