"Don't Know Why"
(Jesse Harris)

I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching tear-drops in my hand

[Refrain:]
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I will die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone

[Refrain:]
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
