paroles de chanson Tell Me Why - 2013 Remaster - Archie Roach

There's many great loves in history
That we know about
But a tale of two lovers that was told to me
Makes me want to scream and shout
Like Romeo and Juliet
A love story you won't forget

Tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?

Snowball Roach and Nellie Austin loved each other well
Oh, and I don't think that they argued often
Somebody broke the spell
Yeah, they broke the spell and broke their hearts
And they drifted far apart

Tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
Well, they tore two hearts apart
Left them bleeding all alone
And threw them in a river made of stone
Oh, they're dead now

He was from the Bundjalung clan and she was Kirrae Whurrong
And he was a big strong fighting man, yeah
She was proud and strong
And their love was great
Their love was free
But what happened to them was a tragedy

So tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
Well, they tore two hearts apart
Left them bleeding all alone
And threw them in the river made of stone
Made of stone

(Made of stone) yeah, they threw them in the river
(Made of stone) yeah, they threw them in the river
(Made of stone) yeah, they threw them in the river
(Made of stone) yeah, they threw them in the river
(Made of stone) oh, they threw them in the river
Made of stone
Made of stone
Made of stone
Made of stone
