ENOriginal lyrics
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?
