lyrics

why oh why
is my world another kind
finches sing and harmonize
why try and fight
she says
and I know
i'm lost in all these photographs
fixed in this silver halide
so i keep
all the mystery inside
but the moments are so few
oh my lover said I thought so too
but the moments are so few
oh my father time was absent like you
but the moments are so few
why oh why
I’ve no faith in summer time
finches sing and harmonize
all night
i love my solitude
but i've got some things to say
i'm steeped in nobel gratitude
but i've got a past to shake
i love i love my solitude
but lonely has had it's day
why do i find
i’m talking to myself
but the moments are so few
oh my lover said I thought so too
but the moments are so few
oh my father time was absent like you
but the moments are so few
