lyrics

Then comes the bad weather
We could leave or stick together
Somebody cried to me last night
And I closed my eyes
Was that the best you could do
To shed a lonely little tear for me
It wasn’t good enough

The kids are sleeping in their beds
Dreams inside their heads
They hear our voices call
Each other names and all
You shut the window tight
But the cold and water Seeping through
Tell me why do I love you like I do

You can leave if you want
I’m not going anywhere
What made you think that anything was new

Maybe the rain will flood the city
It’s never looked so pretty
Was that thunder or the El
I really can’t tell
Should I be wondering
If I’m living life in vain or just pretending to?
Tell me why do I love you like I do

You can leave if you want
I’m not going anywhere
What made you think that anything was new

There’ll be days of bad weather
We could leave or stick together
You’ll cry to me at night
and I’ll close my eyes
You’ll shut the window tight
And hold me and love me like you do
Tell me why do I love you like I do
Tell me why do I love you like I do
