Why And Wherefore |
| Mirror, mirror, speak the truth |
| I see my age but not my youth |
| Pride comes before a fall |
| The winner’s eye is ever small. |
| Why |
| Why |
| Why |
| Why. |
| I realise it’s not too late |
| … (?) a penny on the plate |
| … (?) I feel so free |
| So blind eyes can never see. |
| Why |
| Why |
| Why |
| Why. |
| I keep on sliding down the wall |
| Till I can’t slide no more at all |
| I can’t climb back, I never could |
| And I just won’t try but I know I should. |
| Why |
| Why |
| Why |
| Why. |
| And |
| Wherefore |
| The King of hearts, he gave me frankincense |
| The King of clubs, his flask was myrrh |
| The diamond Queen brought back a purse of gold |
| That I had wanted from her. |
| The pack lay crushed and broken in her hand |
| Silence slipping slowly by The King of spades was all that I deserved |
| And I sat back and and wondered why |
| And I sat back and and wondered why. |
