Текст песни Don't Ask Me Why - Great Caesar

One hundred years ago in a little town in Minnesota
Lived a boy who called himself McGill

He sat by the windowsill
And dreamed until the day went still
And in the dark he'd dream a little more

Then, one day, there came along a girl
Who sang a pretty song with a freckled face
She called herself Marie

She said "Hey Gill you wouldn't believe
What lies out there beyond those trees
Would you let me take you out to see?"

So pack up your bags and fly
You've got some living before you die
I've got this feeling, don't ask me why
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

So Marie and Gill, they took to the hills
And climbed a hundred miles until
They found a spot where they could be at ease

It was the highest point that they could see
Rose far above the tallest trees
So naturally they became king and queen

But before they'd laid their regal grounds
The sky had darkened all around
The heavens broke, and rain began to fall

The lightening cracked, the thunder clapped
And soon the king and queen were trapped
On an island sinking in the rising flood

Well poor Marie, she said
"The end's begun, I've always had a place to run
I'm certain that this night will be our last"

But Gill said "Marie, you wouldn't believe
What lies inside of you and me
Take my hand and we can be at peace"

So lay down and close your eyes
You've got some dreaming before you die
I've got this feeling, don't ask me why
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

Lay down and close your eyes
You've got some dreaming before you die
I've got this feeling, don't ask me why
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

I promise you this too shall pass
Even if this night is our last
I promise you this too shall pass
Even if this night is our last

I'm afraid (I promise you this too shall pass) That I've made
A mistake (Even if this night is our last) Choosing to stay
I'm afraid (I promise you this too shall pass) That I've made
A mistake (Even if this night is our last) Choosing to stay

For forty hours the storm raged on
And Gill, he said
I had it wrong, if we don't leave
We're surely going to die

But sweet Marie, she said, I see the light
My dear, McGill you had it right
We just needed a little faith
Before we fly

Because I've dreamed of what this world could be
In all its possibility
And I'll be damned
If I don't get to see

So take my hand and hold it tight
We're gonna make it out alright
Jump with me
And promise to believe, oooh

Pack up your bags and fly
We've got some dreaming before we die
We've got this feeling, don't ask us why
Don't ask us why, don't ask us why

Pack up your bags and fly
We've got some dreaming before we die
We've got this feeling, don't ask us why
Don't ask us why, don't ask us why

No, don't ask me why
