Lyrics
Artist: Tom Waits
[D] [Hm] [D] [Hm]

[D]Why plant a seed deep in t[A]he ground [D]
[D]Why wh[G]y why [D]
[D]Why put a stone on a grave in to[A]wn [D]
[D]Why wh[G]y why [D]

[D]Tell me, tell me, tell m[G]e [D]
Tell me why it's so [A]
[D]Tell me, tell me, tell m[G]e [D]
Tell me so I'll know [A]

[D]Why does a wedding ring have the hardes[A]t stone [D]
[D]Why wh[G]y why [D]
[D]Why does a little dog bury its bo[A]ne [D]
[D]Why wh[G]y why [D]

So the [Em]river will not drown i[A]t
So the high[D]way won't take it [Hm]
And the du[Em]st will not cover it [A]
And the sun[D] will not blind it [Hm]
And the wind [Em]won't blow it aw[A]ay [D]

Why put a song bird in a cage
Why write i love you on every page

Tell me why it's so
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me so I'll know

Why does a bird build its nest so high
Why hold a baby when a baby cries

So the river will not drown it
So the highway won't take it
And the dust will not cover it
And the sun will not blind it
And the wind won't blow it away

So the river will not drown it
So the highway won't take it
And the dust will not cover it
And the sun will not blind it
And the wind won't blow it away
