Lyrics I Know Why The Sun Don't Shine - The Rumbledown Band

Every mornin' when the sun is so low
Sit there thinkin,' watchin' the river flow
You ask yourself, how can a flower grow?
But all you feel is the cold wind blow
Lift your head and see the birds in the sky
To be so free, just lift your wings and fly
To be so low, ain't the way it should be
You took the child, and parted company
I know why, I know why the sun don't shine
Girl you turned around and left me
For them big bright city lights

Packed your bag and went over the hill
You never stopped to think, how it would make me feel
You come back and say your sky is gray and your heart is blue
You never understood what it takes to be true
Oh, I know why, I know why the sun don't shine
Girl you turned around and left me
For the big bright city lights

Yeah, so go on, go on baby, do what you're gonna do
You'll break a dozen hears before you're through
Ain't no use sayin' your sky is gray and your heart is blue
Everything's gone, everything we ever knew
I know why, I know why the sun down shine
Yeah I know why, I know why.
