How Why & When
(C. Wilson)

started out for tomorrow
limp in the lap of today
could have settled for this
but you'd much rather go that way
somethings seem like nothing when you can't tame
a world of wax amenities...they sink away

into your how why & when
into your how why & when

stayed outside tonight
stay outside today
they told me what you sold me
a bundle of bricks and clay
just don't try to mold me
when you'd much rather give it away
no...don't you try to hold it let it slip and say
the table's set for me

in your how why & when
in your how why & when
in your how & when
in your how why & when

well maybe...the first mistake
self denial can't erase
or maybe...what seconds steal
was dragged onto a landscape
to resurrect what little you feel
with nothing there to confiscate
so why ask why
when how you feel...is you cannot deal
with the traces
the faces of love
