Justin Hayward)

Rain on the river,
Turned a torrent to a flood
Swim or you'll never rise above
Two lonely people,
Can mend a broken heart
Love and you'll never fall apart
But can you tell me why?

They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club, Can you
They played a good game of football in Mucron Tell me,
They got everyone off at the top rank babe, Can you tell me
If you could ever get into their suite Why?
Avenue Tombola and Social, Can you
We just drove right on by Tell me,
We were on our way to the big time baby, Can you tell me
To the great gold record in the sky Why?

The sun in the morning,
Brings a flower from a bud
Hail to the giver, life and love
Two lonely people,
Can mend a broken heart
Love and you'll never fall apart
But can you tell me why?

They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club, Can you
They played a good game of football in Mucron Tell me,
They got everyone off at the top rank babe, Can you tell me
If you could ever get into their suite Why?
Avenue Tombola and Social, Can you
We just drove right on by Tell me,
We were on our way to the big time baby, Can you tell me
To the great gold record in the sky Why?

But can you tell my why?

Can you tell me, tell me why?
Tell me why, tell me why

Great gold record in the sky
