Randon Neeley - Where and Why Lyrics

2 Am not a star in sight
He was born with no light in his eyes
He was raised not to sleep at night
Just in case the water did rise
Kept one eye
On the river banks
Just so they
Couldn't lose their place
Yeah the well
It's been dry
For all
Of his life
And the river
It's getting high
Yeah he pines for his Where and Why
He raised a son
With baby blue eyes
In the moist heat
Of a southern July
He told the boy
Just to watch the rivers highs
Just in case
That they one day did rise
But the boy
One day turned his gaze
When he returned
He had lost his father's grace
Yeah the well
It's been dry
For all
Of his life
And the river
Its getting high
Yeah he pined for his Where and Why
The boy got old
Had a family of his own
100 miles
From his father's old home
He raised a son
With baby blue eyes
He told the boy
All about the rivers highs
He hoped to sway
Any waterlogged Ideals
He told the boy
That the river never yields
Yeah the well
It's been dry
For all
Of my life
And the river
It's getting high
Yeah I need my Where and Why
Yeah the well
It's been dry
For all
Of my life
And the river
It's getting high
Yeah I need my Where and Why
