Song Lyrics

Why does blood turn brown when it dries
Why do the tears well up in your eyes
Why didn't I learn to ride my bike
When it was warm and sunny outside

Why can't little kids tie their shoes
Why can't the white people play the blues
Why can't I fall in love with you
It must be because of the seasons

When the leaves start falling from the trees
When the birds start flirting with the bees
When the wind starts blowing from the East to the West
Maybe you'll be the one that I like best

Clouds start forming I can't complain
'Cause I think we might be in need of some rain
When it starts pouring
Don't hide away without me

I bought an umbrella big enough for two
But it feels pretty empty under here without you
Dry as a bone but I'm still alone
I'm so gray

When you're standing in a puddle with wet feet
And your head is sore from pounding drops of sleet
When the cold and lonely hours put your heart to the test
Maybe I'll be the one that you like best

If the sky can open its eyes
And cry from up above
Let's shed some tears of joy
And fall in love
