Paroles de Mister Athanasius

Mister Athanasius, shining through the trees Won’t you tell me why she left me, please? You saw her walk away, you saw her cry But you just kept staring at the sky Oh, Mister Athanasius, you’re up so high Did you see her wave goodbye? Mister Athanasius, you know the truth So why are you hiding the proof? You’ve watched the tides turn every day You’ve seen the words we throw away If you could speak, what would you say? Or do you prefer the silent way?
