Wonder Why
You Make It Easy
Wonder Why
Words and Music by Colin Ward
The Miami sun brings that Florida dawn,It's time for breakfast in bed,
After candlelight dinner on the kitchen floor,
The newspaper lying unread
But you've never driven down Rodeo Drive,
Only Main St. USA,
Simple or sublime those Arabian nights,
Seem decades or light years away
Wonder why? (Wonder why)
She's got dreams
as big as the Montana sky,
Wonder why? (Wonder why)
She wants things,
That someday will make her cry
Bahamian beaches or Florida sand,
A trailer or a shack in the woods,
As long as I have you here with me,
The living is gonna be good
Now I've got you it's a simple life,
Warm breezes and sun in the sky,
That's all we need, no trouble and strife,
She wanted more, wonder why?
That Tasmanian Devil left me last year,
Driving her Bentley to school,
She went past downtown to the Middle East,
For an oilman covered in jewels
Wonder why? (Wonder why)
She's got dreams
as big as the Montana sky,
Wonder why? (Wonder why)
She wants things,
That someday will make her cry
Wonder why? (Wonder why)
She's got dreams
as big as the Montana sky,
Wonder why? (Wonder Why)
She left me last year,
Didn't hear her say goodbye
